Polymath Robotics

If we want to progress steadily in the upcoming space revolution and the continued commercialization of the space economy, robotics must be front and center.

Advances in Robotics are Key to the Upcoming Space Revolution 

This is my conclusion after giving several workshops last week. The participants were all inspired and convinced that the exponential growth of technology will have an enormous impact on the future of work and society as a whole.

“What Are the Game-Changing Trends for 2019?” A Difficult Question, But…

There are many programming languages today vying for your consideration, especially the “hot” (or “cool!”) new languages like Ceylon, Crystal, Dart, Elixir, Elm, Go, Haxe, Julia, Kotlin, Rust, Swift, TypeScript. And new ones seem to be popping up every month!

What makes a programming language “cool?”

 The greatest message we can take from da Vinci’s life is maintaining a child-like wonder sense and noticing the unseen as we were to check Mona Lisa’s smile.

3 Essential Things I Learned Being Part of an ICO

How deepfakes are becoming the new norm in video creation.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Deepfakes

COVID-19 has changed the way we work, study and socialize, at least temporarily. Many of those who were privileged enough to transfer to remote working instead of losing their jobs will never return to the office, even if they want to. 

Tokenizing Our Virtual Future: A Deep Dive Into Non-Fungible Tokens

With ~184k visitors, ~1200 speakers, ~4000 companies exhibiting, estimates suggest this will be the largest CES ever. And for good reason, there is a lot happening at a heady pace in the world of consumer electronics. There will be many companies exhibiting the latest tech from electric vehicle concept cars to accessibility focused Augmented Reality Apps to self-driving grocery stores on wheels. And don’t forget all the voice activated gizmos either. There’s a lot going on.

The Irony Of All That Tech (at CES) & No Power.

The press and some <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/tech" target="_blank">tech</a> leaders are trying to get us all scared of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Even the most daring entrepreneur of our time, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/14/elon-musk-ai-vastly-more-risky-north-korea" target="_blank">Elon Musk, thinks we should be deathly afraid</a>. I believe Elon Musk is exaggerating because there is still a long way to go before we get to <a href="https://www.wired.com/2017/04/the-myth-of-a-superhuman-ai/" target="_blank">Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)</a>. And even ASI is not a scary proposition.

What Is Explainable AI? How Does It Affect Your Job?

The most recent episode of <a href="http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia" target="_blank">Invisibilia (a fantastic podcast, I encourage you to subscribe)</a>, centers around a car/truck accident between a family of four (a mother, father and two girls) and a truck driver. Sudden flash rains, lost control and one person gets killed (I won’t spoil the story) and this leads to an Invisibilia team deep dive into emotions. While listening to the episode, I remembered sitting in an MBA Ethics Class and the conversation was on the ‘<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/10/trolley-problem-history-psychology-morality-driverless-cars/409732/" target="_blank">Trolley Problem</a>’. The question was, if you are the driver of a Trolley with faulty brakes whom would you choose to hit between the five unsuspecting workers directly on your path or you could turn the trolley and hit one unsuspecting worker? The dilemma that you have to actively decide to save some lives to kill one is a moral gray area with no right or wrong answer. At the point in the class when we were having the conversation, I didn’t really think too deeply about it; it was an abstract conversation about a situation I didn’t really think I would ever find myself in. It was more of an intellectual exercise than a real one to me.

Who's To Blame If One Gets Killed In An (Uber/Tesla/Waymo) Self-Driving Car?

In 1878, Christopher Sholes was granted the patent on the QWERTY keyboard layout. He’d been granted the patent on the <a href="http://amzn.to/2pcTHOi" target="_blank">typewriter in 1868</a>, 10 years earlier. His original typewriter had problems with tangling mechanical keys and the QWERTY keyboard was his solution to broken keyboards and frustrated typists. The QWERTY keyboard favored left-handed typists (at a time when most technology favored right-handed users) and placed less commonly used letters under a typists resting fingers. Sholes, thinking very much like a founder who wanted to sell a lot of product, <a href="https://keyshorts.com/blogs/blog/41838657-31-weird-fun-facts-about-computer-keyboards-you-didnt-know-about" target="_blank">ensured the word TYPEWRITER was designed into the top row of the keyboard</a> ensuring salespeople could easily demo the product. That one decision played a big part in the makeup of the typewriter.

Tech and The Defaults That Dictate Our Lives.

The first 6-game match between Gary Kasparov and Deep Blue, played in 1996, ended in a 4–2 win for Kasparov. The world slept better after those games. But our joy at the superiority we still held over ‘the computer’ was short-lived because just over a year later, Deep Blue defeated Kasparov 3 1/2 — 2 1/2 games. It seemed our subordination to the machines was inevitable.
