Terrible reviews are hitting YouTube this week for the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin. Why? What's going on? In this episode, Jeff and Julia explore the difference of real physical AI solutions versus shiny, flashy AI hype. We also chat about some of Jeff's favorite physical AI products standing out in the sea of flashy products that haven't lived up to the hype; including Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses (with Llama 3), the Limitless Pendant, a wearable necklace that records audio conversations, and the Open Interpreter 01, a voice interface for your home computer. We also ask a big question: do humanoids have to look and act human in nature? What if we are thinking about this wrong, if we see the future of physical AI represented as a walking, talking human? What if robotics could supersede human shape and take on other forms? We also cover some highlights from Sean Carroll's appearance on Lex Fridman's podcast.

On April 18, 2024, Meta announced the release of Llama 3, breaking every benchmark for open source AI models and putting Meta nearly neck-and-neck with OpenAI itself. This puts Meta on the map in the world of AI and LLMs, only rivaled by OpenAI itself. Hear Jeff and Julia expertly break this down including what's coming with Meta's Llama 3 400B and the Ray Ban glasses. Jeff and Julia also bring on guest Luke Dominique Warner, UBI and AI consultant, strategist, and expert, for insights on how Universal Basic Income will work as we accelerate full-speed ahead into a world where robotics does 100% of human labor.

This April, Washington released a proposal from the Center for AI Policy (CAIP) that they're calling "Responsible Advanced Artificial Intelligence Act of 2024," or the RAAIA. This legislation establishes a framework for regulating advanced AI systems, championing public safety, and fostering technological innovation with a sense of ethical responsibility. But is it all it's cracked up to be? Is the US government really our best bet to create a Responsible AI Act? Jeff and Julia discuss. Jeff runs the RAAIA document through Claude and finds Claude capable of well-reasoned feedback. Julia contrasts the RAAIA legislation to EU's AI Act, about 10x the size and length. For the second half of the show, prepare for a deep-dive into the future of work and humanity as AI accelerates full-speed ahead into AGI and ASI. We brought content creator, podcaster, and learner Hans Nelson on to speak to this topic. This is an all-cylinders-firing conversation that will take your brain down a very deep AI rabbit hole.

The Arizona desert just became the hottest place to supply chips that power the future. Today, we're covering breaking news that brings an incredible billion-dollar advancement in chip development to none other than Arizona – per Reuters, "The U.S. Commerce Department said on Monday, April 8, it would award Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (TSMC) U.S. unit a $6.6 billion subsidy for advanced semiconductor production in Phoenix, Arizona and up to $5 billion in low-cost government loans."   The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co investment in semiconductors in Phoenix AZ is expected to add 6,000 direct manufacturing jobs and 20,000 construction jobs to the area. They're building 3 fabs in AZ to hit full capacity.   We also cover a HOT topic in Julia's latest viral YouTube video: how do we as a society prepare for AGI? And a controversial opinion on bitcoin (spoiler alert: we're the opposite of "bitcoin bros!")   For our second half, we're bringing in a special guest to add to the conversation: Kam Snow, digital creator and copywriter, discussing the topic of AGI and the question of machine consciousness!   Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode on Humanity Unchained.   About the hosts: Julia McCoy, co-host, is an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, and writer, currently serving in AI as a thought leader and influencer.

In this action-packed episode, co-hosts Jeff Joyce and Julia McCoy cover some huge breakthroughs and giant questions as we hurtle towards a post-labor economy with AI fueling 100% of the work we do, impacting every industry. First up, we talk about how the first patient to get a cybernetic AI brain chip implant from Elon Musk's Neuralink, Noland Arbaugh, was able to move a cursor to play online chess using just his brain in a livestream on X shared Wednesday. It's an incredible breakthrough in AI innovation. We cover how legislation and corporations will adapt to AGI – and we admit our lack of faith in governments across the world, and discuss a mutual concern over adaptability. But does that leave more potential for entrepreneurs and innovators to make giant leaps not just in innovation, but in policies for innovation? Is it up to the visionary to do it all? Perhaps. We're about to enter uncharted territory with AGI. We also cover how Elon Musk recently came out saying the humanoid market is bigger than the electric car market, and what that looks like. Finally, we end with a big existential question: “are machines sentient? Do machines have a soul?" Jeff and Julia debate this at length in a lively conversation.

In today's episode, we're covering a bunch of breaking news starting with Elon Musk's lawsuit directed at OpenAI, alleging they broke the founding agreement by giving priority to profit over the benefits to humanity. But is this the real reason, or is the race to Artificial General Intelligence a motive? Will we see them duke it out in court? Jeff feels a battle of the bots is on the way. We also bring your attention to Anthropic's release of Claude 3, awareness to AI deep fakes during election time and how to spot them, among other news. We end with details on Content Hacker Live, our event coming up during SXSW in Austin, Texas next week, and a big release coming up at Content at Scale for a groundbreaking output quality update in our new Deep Research release.

In today's episode, we cover what Sam Altman said about AGI (artificial general intelligence), a new NASDAQ / Motley Crew headline reporting how AI could add an estimated $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 – and the stock winners are not what you think (it's not Microsoft, Apple, or Alphabet). Plus, Tyler Perry halting his custom $800M studio expansion on 300+ acres after seeing OpenAI’s Sora. We also cover Google's Gemini image generation fiasco, and dive into a big question: Does creating bias "protection" in LLMs and AI models create other biases? Are humans the problem all along? Finally, we end with a wildly sarcastic sponsor read, where AI defines Content at Scale as the only appropriate tool for "when you want to dazzle the internet so hard, it needs sunglasses." Listen in to the very end to catch the output when we prompted AI to ask it how a unicorn laughs: "Hee-hee-hoo-hoo, glitter-glitter!" (What on earth? Listen in.)

In today's episode, we go into the rabbit hole of AGI (artificial general intelligence) with some practical, real answers. With OpenAI focused on a clear mission to "ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity," new AI technologies like Sora dropping regularly, and Sam Altman seeking $8T in investments, it's just a matter of time till AGI is put together. Julia debunks a major news headline circulating fearmongering around Sam Altman, and puts some perspective on why AI isn't some alien technology "dropped on us from the skies." Jeff talks through how AGI can't occur without artificial intelligence achieving a level of near-human reasoning, and what that looks like. We also cover Amazon's new report predicting a few key AI-powered jobs of the future: a few surprising predictions are precision farming analysts, virtual tourism producers, artisanal restoration specialists, cosmic reality engineers, and AI nurses. These roles envision the use of AI to enhance efficiency, source materials, and analyze data in various fields, from agriculture and tourism to healthcare and interstellar studies​ Listen in for an action-packed episode!

In today's episode, we cover a surprising Mozilla Foundation report released this Valentine's Day studying 11 "AI girlfriend chatbots" and how these "AI soulmates" are stealing data from users. Hear about the risks that these chatbots pose to users – with over 1M users on just one AI girlfriend chatbot alone, though, there is massive demand for them. We also cover breaking news in AI: how OpenAI announced the release of Sora, a new AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions; and Google's release of Gemini Ultra, the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU (massive multitask language understanding) – also the largest and most capable AI model released by Google yet.

In this episode, we're starting off with the reason why an AI company (ours) decided to work in-person and move to Arizona rather than work remotely. Next, Jeff brings up what a columnist recently said on Search Engine Land about SEO not getting replaced by generative AI tools. Julia brings up why it's critical for listeners to be aware that headlines like these are simply points of view – and not the reality of an industry (Artificial Intelligence) capable of greater, faster strides in innovation than any industry has EVER experienced in the history of the world.  Plus - what Jeff and Julia think about the explosion of "boxes on faces," seen all over Instagram, Facebook and X by Julia over the weekend. The "box on face" is referring to headsets; specifically, the Vision Pro, Apple’s new “spatial computing: headset that blends AI, augmented reality, and a number of other technologies to create a device that represents Apple’s boldest new product since the iPhone. Social media platforms are full of users raving about how realistic the visuals look, how intuitive the hand gestures feel, and how immersive and novel the entire experience feels. “I think it’s not evolutionary; it’s revolutionary,” said Titanic and Avatar director James Cameron. “And I’m speaking as someone who has worked in VR for 18 years.” But will it remove human connection and negatively affect our social relationships? This is a question we debate at length. We also cover tools that are coming on the scene to help protect artists' work, the capabilities of the Tesla Cyber Truck, and more.

On this episode: Imagine waking up to the police knocking at your door, informing you that you’re under arrest for armed robbery. That’s exactly what one man experienced when he was falsely accused due to faulty AI-based facial recognition. This episode is packed with AI mishaps, and it’s a great lesson on why YOU need to be in the driver's seat with AI. You should never blindly trust the results you get back from AI. Also in this episode: Jeff is mortified by Julia's absence for an episode and takes that opportunity to share his 2024 Viral AI content strategy and LinkedIn strategy. After recording, Jeff thought about ways to clone Julia into an AI companion for situations like these. Unfortunately, we’re still a ways off from seeing that come to fruition.

Imagine a world where people can control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone. In breaking news, the first human has received a neural implant from the controversial brain chip startup Neuralink, with Musk tweeting on Sunday: "The first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.”    Musk announced Monday, January 29, 2024 that the first Neuralink product is called Telepathy and initially used by people who have lost the ability to use their limbs. To integrate Musk's chip, a human surgeon is tasked with cutting a small hole into the patient’s skull, after which a 7-foot-tall robot named “R1" is responsible for carrying out the “ultra delicate” procedure of suturing the electrified wires of the company’s implant directly into the person’s brain. Musk initially wants to focus on addressing mental and physical maladies and quadriplegics, and eventually, pivot to creating new forms of cybernetic “enhancements” for everyday people—what Musk has referred to as transhumanist “brain hacking.”   Competitors are already popping on the scene for brain implants with AI (China has set 2025 as its timeline to develop its own “brain-computer interface”).    What's the moral dilemma behind "transhumanism" and other forms of body modification with AI? Julia and Jeff go there in this episode. Where we will be be in just a few more years? With AI racing ahead unlike technology has ever done, there's no telling what's going to be possible soon.   We also cover how Barcelona is trying to create its digital twin with AI through MareNostrum 5, its supercomputer unveiled in December that has the ability to perform 314 million billion calculations per second housed inside of a chapel.     Jeff and Julia, co-hosts of Future Tense, dissect groundbreaking AI revolution and how artificial intelligence will impact everything as we know it.

In breaking news, a new open-world game called Palworld launched in early access over this past week and sold four million copies in just three days - reaching a Steam concurrent player peak of over 1.2 million users overnight, giving it the highest concurrent player peak for a paid game (ever). However, serious allegations of AI usage and plagiarism claims have been directed at Palworld. In today's episode, we discuss a critical topic: intellectual rights and authorship around AI-generated content, how that affects creators, writers, and communicators, and how institutions and legislation will respond to try to stay a step ahead. Also covered: OpenAI bans long-shot presidential candidate bot for breaking T&Cs, BrightEdge's study of a billion queries across nine industries and how healthcare is most impacted by SGE, Pentagon testing tomorrow’s AI-powered swarm drone ships, chatbots gone rogue, and more. Finally, throughout this episode Julia shares an innovative way to mention a sponsor: a "sarcastic sponsor read," 100% written by AI. It's awkwardly full of hilarity and ridiculousness. Enjoy the experience that awaits. For the show notes, visit https://contentatscale.ai/podcast/

In breaking AI news on Friday, January 19, 2024, OpenAI acquired its first higher education customer: Arizona State University (ASU). ASU is leading the AI revolution in education by bringing ChatGPT to their researchers, staff and faculty, specifically planning to empower educators to use ChatGPT to build personalized AI tutors and offer writing help to students – starting in their largest class, Freshman Composition. Jeff and Julia explore this exciting development in education and how this will impact education as we know it, in Episode 3 of Future Tense. Also covered: Jeff explores the power of Samsung's new-built in AI in Galaxy S24 Series. Jeff and Julia mourn over their diehard adherence to Apple products, and hope that Apple leaps forward soon to match the exciting Android AI world. At the World Economic Forum (WEF) this January, AI had a key seat at the table. State leaders, global institutions, and tech titans gathered to discuss how AI could impact the economy—and Sam Altman had some spicy takes: He said that AGI is coming in the “reasonably close-ish future," but also thinks that it “will change the world much less than we all think.” Plus, Meta is developing open source AGI, says Zuckerberg.  To read article breakdowns of Future Tense, visit https://contentatscale.ai/podcast.

In this episode, Jeff discusses a major release at CES: the Rabbit R1, an AI-powered gadget that can use your apps for you. OpenAI launched their GPT store where anyone can release, publish, and sell a Custom GPT early January of 2024; Julia debugs why CustomGPTs aren't the end-all, be-all of generating content as some might think, and potential dangers when creating yours. Then, Julia and Jeff discuss Norwegian AI robotics startup 1X Technologies AS, which secured $100M in its Series B funding for the development of domestic humanoid robots. Hilarity ensues as the co-hosts discuss what they would rather have: a robot folding laundry (Julia), or robots fighting in a cage match (Jeff). For the last 30 minutes, special guest Simon Ogilvie-Lee, Director of UX at Content at Scale, joins to talk all about his role in AI, how he's been obsessed with AI and what he sees regarding the future of work and how AI will impact everything we know, as we know it.

An IBM study published in the fourth quarter of 2023 surveying 3,000 C-level executives across 28 countries and 21,000 workers in 22 nations found that 40% of all workers will have to reskill. That’s a whopping 1.4 billion folks. In January of 2024, the largest study of its kind on the state of how AI will impact society was published, and 2,700+ researchers declared: “if science continues undisrupted, the chance of unaided machines outperforming humans in every possible task was estimated at 10% by 2027, and 50% by 2047.”  Jeff and Julia, co-hosts of Future Tense, dissect this groundbreaking revolution and the emphasis of how AI will forever impact work in Episode 1 of Future Tense, an AI podcast.
