I spoke with the journalist Clive Thompson about: - What he’s learned about technologists and technology culture from decades of journalism - How he writes - His new book on micromobility and cycling across the US

I spoke with Judith Fan , Assistant Professor of Psychology at Stanford, about her work on cognitive tools and how we use physical representations of thought to learn, communicate, and problem solve — and how her approach to scientific inquiry has developed over time.

I spoke with one of my favorite writers, the technology critic L.M. Sacasas, about his influences, how the stories we tell ourselves about technology pervade what we build, and the hard questions we have to ask ourselves about the technologies we use.

I spoke with philosopher Pete Wolfendale, whose work encompasses many different areas and looks at AI and personhood, about a number of his interests. You can listen here: https://lnkd.in/gw7j36_C

Peter Lee on how simple ideas underlie practical systems across computing fields:

I really enjoyed this conversation with Peter Lee , President of Microsoft Research . We spent time on his early work in compiler generation and type theory, Microsoft’s “Sparks of AGI” paper and its claims, and how he thinks about his work’s impact.

I spoke with the legendary Manuel and Lenore Blum , renowned for their contributions to theoretical computer science and mathematics, about their early influences and their current work on the Conscious Turing Machine.

I spoke with Kevin Dorst, Professor of Philosophy at MIT, about why your (political) opponents might be more rational than you think.

David Pfau on the deepest kinds of research questions: "if you can discover something where you make people ask a question they didn't even know to ask in the first place, that's the most exciting thing for me."

"The deepest ideas come from studying simple stuff, and the most impactful ideas are the deepest ones" — David Pfau on finding the ideas that scale up and why his own work on Geomancer isn't yet finished.
