Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Samo Burja on NVIDIA, The Catholic Church, and AI | 🟡🔴🔵 MTS Live
Q: How useful is AI today for research at Bismarck?
AI models have become more capable and reliable for data-driven analysis and visualization, though users still need to cross-check results; the technology has evolved from being barely useful to acting like a capable, competent assistant that can handle data-heavy tasks.
Could AI Fix Wealth Inequality? with Max Rose | 🟡🔴🔵 MTS Live
Q: Reading this op-ed, what were your high-level takeaways, agreements, critiques?
The guest suggested that Bernie's proposal should catalyze conversation rather than be assumed as imminent policy, and framed the AI revolution as a broad, transformative force across all sectors that requires thoughtful, proactive governance rather than fear-driven control.
What If Open Source Beat Google's Classified Quantum Algorithm? | 🟡🔴🔵 MTS Live
Q: So can you first start by walking us through EigenLabs?
The guests outline EigenLabs as a research lab focused on human-agent coordination to maximize individual agency in the post-AGI era, discussing open networks, sovereignty of agents, and building blocks for open-agency coordination.

Harley Finkelstein on Shopify's Q1 Results, Sidekick AI, and Scaling GMV Past $100 Billion | Live on MTS
