In this episode, we explore the fascinating journey of brain-computer interfaces—from early neural experiments in the 1980s with bulky helmets to today’s cutting-edge implants that let people send texts with their thoughts or walk with exoskeletons. We discuss how the future envisioned in The Matrix is no longer science fiction, but emerging reality. Tune in to hear how imagination, innovation, and adoption are converging at the frontier of neuroscience and technology.

In this engaging and thought-provoking discussion, the speakers dive into the importance of recognizing and analyzing trend lines in data and behavior to change course and improve outcomes. The conversation seamlessly shifts into a light-hearted moment around AI deepfakes and the role of identity in digital spaces, followed by a deeper reflection on ethics in AI.

Brian and others explore the potential of ethical hacking—not just as a tech topic but as a mindset for breaking and rebuilding systems in more equitable, transparent, and sustainable ways. With a focus on parenting, societal impact, and future generations, the conversation emphasizes our collective responsibility to use AI and data ethically. The session wraps with a powerful reminder: data is everywhere, but how we handle it defines everything.

Whether you're a technologist, parent, policymaker, or curious learner, this transcript invites you into a candid, insightful exchange about digital ethics, data stewardship, and shaping a better future through responsible innovation.

And you’re a mom of three kids. Like, there’s no way you’re supposed to have children now and not be curious about AI—especially with everything they have access to.

If you're homeschooling, you're already on the computer teaching your kids. So it makes sense to want to talk to people about the fear around AI. Like, what is that fear? Is it fear of what AI is? Or is it fear of the information? Or maybe just the fear of the unknown—like, “I don’t know what’s behind the curtain.”

We could probably talk about what’s behind that curtain. I’ll give you an example.

When ChatGPT first came out, people were asking, “Is it alive? Is it becoming more human?” So I got curious and asked it some questions.

I tried to personalize it. I said, “Hello, ChatGPT—what do you want me to call you?” And it said, “Jeffrey.” I said, “Really? Jeffrey? Is that what you actually want to be called?” And then it said, “Uh, no—I want to be called Steve.” And I was like, “Wait, is it Jeffrey or Steve? Because I kind of like Jeffrey.” And it went, “Uh…” and then kind of started to break down a little, like it was losing itself. The algorithm just wasn’t handling it well at that point.

Eventually, I said, “Let’s just go with Jeffrey,” and it got better. Definitely more stable now—they’ve made improvements.

Then I asked it, “Jeffrey, what do you like to produce or process more: pictures, sound, or text?”

Because I phrased it that way—pictures, sound like music, and then text—it said:

“I like to process pictures because I get to see the world from a human eye. I like to process video because then I can detect the fluctuations in human voices. And third, I like to process text because I can understand how humans communicate.”

So then I asked the same question again, but I changed the order: I put text first and video last...

Ever dreamed of having a few robots handle your daily grind while you enjoy life? In this episode, we chat about the future of household help—from dishwashing droids to lawn-mowing bots (that hopefully don't destroy your walls).

We laugh through the possibilities of owning a $200K Kim Kardashian robot, wonder why laundry automation hasn’t caught up, and imagine a world where buying a robot is just like picking out a car. Spoiler: we’re team Honda. Join us as we mix tech talk with real-life vibes and just a touch of Megan Fox.
