Description:

This week is a slight divergence from the usual weekly update. Steven Bartlett recently had a conversation with Yuval Noah Harari on Diary of a CEO on the state and future of artificial intelligence.


You can find the original conversation here, but if you listen to my intro, I encourage discernment before consuming:


Yuval brought an interesting perspective as a historian, and after listening to the conversation, I wanted to share some of my thoughts and reactions to the dialogue.


Despite our different worldviews, there were many points of mutual agreement as well as wisdom and insight worth considering. At the same time, I felt there were a few missed opportunities to go deeper or provide an alternative point of view.


Finally, the discussion was rather heavy and esoteric, so I brought some practical and individual actions everyone could take without feeling overwhelmed by what is largely an inevitable future many have little influence over.


I'll be back next week with the usual commentary. I've had a few people share some topics already, so I've got the agenda lined up. However, if you have additional topics, feel free to send them along.
