4.8 out of 5 stars from 21 ratings
  • I might be biased, but very few technology podcasts cover as many subjects and have as much fun as thinking on paper. These guys interview the outliers, write new space treaties, unmask the real AI, quantum computers and robotic narratives and tell it like it is.

  • Where the real thinking gets done

    The space where resistance and technological prowess meets is very narrow. It’s hard to find people who have the tech chops, love innovation, but aren’t handmaidens to the cult of AI.

    This podcast is a place for thinking well on stuff that matters and will have multi-generational impact. I love it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Space-Based Solar Power Starts With a Music Festival in Portugal
Q: Why use both RF and lasers for space-based power beaming, and where would you invest if you had to choose one currently?
RF offers all-weather beaming and continuous availability from space to ground, while lasers provide compact, highly efficient, tightly collimated beams; TerraSpark currently leans toward RF for its robustness and ongoing regulatory envisioning, while lasers offer compelling niche benefits but weather and atmospheric conditions pose challenges.
America Has One Lithium Mine. Clean Energy Wants 117 More
Q: Jeremy, spot quiz. How many lithium mines are there in the United States of America?
There is currently one operating mine, with planning activity around 50 to 60 potential sites in various stages, but the actual number of active, producing mines remains very small.
IBM Just Took Quantum Computing Out of the Lab
Q: How important is accessibility to the technology?
Accessibility is critical; it involves both increasing hardware/software capability and ensuring usable, open, cloud-native tools that allow researchers and developers to run real workloads.
Can Humans Ever Escape Ageing?
Q: Does AI and AGI, when it arrives, make war more or less likely?
The guest notes it's unclear; AI could enable deterrence and smarter defense, but also accelerate conflicts due to instability and race dynamics, making outcomes hard to predict.
Can Humans Ever Escape Ageing?
Q: Will Brian Johnson live forever?
Not in the long run; even with uploads and backups, entropy ensures that ultimate longevity is limited, but the discussion emphasizes horizon thinking about long-term survival strategies.
