Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthropic vs Department of War + David Usher on AI Risks
Q: I wanted to kick things off with a prediction that you made in BetaKit for artificial intelligence in 2026, where you said we'd see human pushback as AI overruns the Internet and OpenAI addicts us with porn GPT, driving the rise of human-only spaces. What did you mean by that, and how do you see the balance between AI expansion and human-centered spaces evolving?
The rise of agents and agentic AI will accelerate integration into work and life, but there is a growing demand for spaces and practices that prioritize genuine human-to-human connection. People will seek environments where human interactions remain essential, and new business models will emerge to support that balance.
AI to “Save the Children” + Moving Beyond Silicon Valley
Q: How do you stay hopeful knowing what you know and doing the work that you do?
By working with communities and seeing the hope they have, like a young girl wanting to be president to stop war and make her country better.
AI to “Save the Children” + Moving Beyond Silicon Valley
Q: Can you talk a little bit about your use of technology within Save the Children?
We're using AI and other technologies strategically to address challenges faced by communities, including virtual reality for career exploration and AI for predicting climate-related displacement.
AI to “Save the Children” + Moving Beyond Silicon Valley
Q: For people who aren't familiar with the work that Save the Children does, can you give us an overview of how the organization works?
Save the Children operates in over 100 countries, focusing on humanitarian response, education, health and nutrition, and child protection to meet the needs of kids and families.
Guests Cory Doctorow, Ed Elson, & Brittlestar on the State of the Internet
Q: What responsibility do you believe governments should have regarding social media?
Governments are responsible for regulating the digital world as they do the physical world.
