  • Great show to learn about breakthroughs in tech

    The show seems more tech-focused, and I enjoyed the bits about AI very much. I’m always looking for ways to squeeze more out of the things I care about (be that my career, my workouts or my brain power) and this show aligns with that. I’d like to see some fitness content too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Human Blind Spot in Cybersecurity, with Robert Siciliano - HockeyStick #54
Q: What should leaders do in their first 30 days to improve security culture?
Begin with a live, interactive presentation that discusses AI, deepfakes, and modern deception, framed as a dialogue rather than a monologue, and connect lessons to employees' personal lives to make security meaningful and memorable.
The Human Blind Spot in Cybersecurity, with Robert Siciliano - HockeyStick #54
Q: How can organizations make security training more effective without a huge budget?
Shift from compliance-based, checkbox training to a dialogue-based, security-appreciation approach that starts with personal relevance, uses real-life stories, and engages employees in questions and interactive discussion, especially at all-hands meetings.
The Human Blind Spot in Cybersecurity, with Robert Siciliano - HockeyStick #54
Q: What is a human firewall?
A human firewall refers to a proactive, people-centered approach where employees become an active detection layer, recognizing deception and applying critical thinking to protect themselves and the organization, beyond traditional checkbox training.
Exploring GenAI, with Maggie Engler & Numa Dhamani - HockeyStick #52
Q: Are we in an AI bubble? And where is GenAI going in a year?
The guests suggest we are not in a full-blown AI bubble, though there may be a bubble in valuations and hype. In a year, expect more automated workflows and multi-agent coordination, with continued evolution of tools and governance, but not a collapse of AI's long-term value.
Inside OpenAI: the Future of Deep Learning, with Richard Heimann - HockeyStick #53
Q: What's the best way to give people a glimpse of what the Reading List is like without going one by one through all 27 papers?
The guest explains that the target reader isn't the paper authors but a broader audience; the book aims to weave papers into a cohesive, chronological human narrative that shows how ideas interact, persist, and evolve, rather than just listing them in order of citations.
