A self-described "badass Dharma Cowboy," Daniel's teaching style is rigorous and direct, aimed at those serious about achieving deep insights. Despite his somewhat eccentric and outspoken nature, he stresses the importance of kindness, a positive attitude, and humor in navigating life's conventional aspects. His vision for the dharma world is one of personal empowerment, free from dogma and unnecessary secrecy, making him a pioneering figure in modern spiritual practice.

Episode 37: The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (Ben Goertzel & Trent McConaghy)

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2134877/open_sms] Join Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNet and Trent McConaghy, Co-founder of Ocean Protocol as they explain the next steps with the ASI merger, now that the ASI token has launched. Desdemona Robot is now running the show and has oodles of new dialogue systems, accompanied by her co-host Lisa Rein. Episode 37: The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) marks a significant milestone in the field of decentralized AI technologies, initiated by a merger among three major players: SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol. This groundbreaking collaboration effectively creates the largest open-source, decentralized player in AI research and development, while also advancing the path to AGI’s development on the blockchain by leveraging their strengths in a unified ecosystem. The merger has a strategic rationale of creating a large-scale, open-source network that stands as a counterbalance to the concentrated power of Big Tech in AI: -SingularityNET, founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel, is known for its decentralized marketplace for AI services. -Ocean Protocol, developed under Trent McConaghy's guidance, provides a decentralized data exchange to secure and monetize data. -Fetch.ai, led by DeepMind investor Humayun Sheikh, operates as a decentralized platform that facilitates the deployment and commercialization of AI technologies. About Trent McConaghy Trent McConaghy, Co-Founder, Ocean Protocol A self-proclaimed solarpunk, Trent is a co-founder of Ocean Protocol, which is unbounding AI via blockchain technology and Ocean Predictoor, which enables decentralized prediction feeds via AI * Web3. (At scale, Predictoor will unlock vastly more powerful AI, backed by ground-truth physics.) His ultimate long-term goal is to help ensure that humanity has a role in an increasingly autonomous world and believes that “bci/acc is the path.” About Ben Goertzel Ben Goertzel, CEO SingularityNET Ben is the CEO of SingularityNET and also a co-host of the Mindplex Podcast.

Episode 36: Pavel Durov's Arrest & Telegram's Encryption Issues

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2134877/open_sms] Join David Greene, EFF Senior Staff Attorney and Civil Liberties Director, as he joins Lisa Rein to discuss the latest about Pavel Durov's arrest in France and the implications of Telegram's unencrypted group chats for its users. Even Telegram's one-to-one direct messages are only encrypted if the "secret chat" feature is enabled by both parties. Another troubling issue is that Telegram stores its messages in the cloud, as plain text, as this Tweet from Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike explains: https://x.com/moxie/status/1828464949703909574 For these reasons, Telegram can't actually be considered a "secure messaging app" because real secure messaging apps, such as Signal and What's App, are end-to-end encrypted by default. A lot of Telegram users might not care if their group chats aren't encrypted, as they are using group chats to broadcast to the public anyway, but for those who might be using Telegram for more sensitive group conversations, it's an important fact to make note of. About David Greene, Senior Staff Attorney and Civil Liberties Director, EFF David Greene has significant experience litigating First Amendment issues in state and federal trial and appellate courts. David is also an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law, where he teaches classes in First Amendment and media law and was formerly an instructor in the journalism department at San Francisco State University. David has written and lectured extensively on many areas of First Amendment Law, including as a contributor to the International Encyclopedia of Censorship. Before joining EFF, David was for twelve years the Executive Director and Lead Staff Counsel for First Amendment Project, where he worked with EFF on numerous cases including Bunner v. DVDCCA. David also previously served as program director of the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression where he was the principal contributor and general editor of the NCFE Quarterly and the principal author of the NCFE Handbook to Understanding, Preparing for and Responding to Challenges to your Freedom of Artistic Expression. He also practiced with the firms Bryan Cave LLP and Hancock, Rothert & Bunshoft. Way back in 1998, he was a founding member, with David Sobel and Shari Steele, of the Internet Free Expression Alliance. He is a 1991 graduate of Duke University School of Law. David's work has been recognized by California Lawyer magazine as a 2013 California Lawyer Attorney of the Year, and by the SPJ Northern California as the recipient of its 2007 James Madison Freedom of information Award for Legal Counsel.  He was also awarded The Hon. Ira A. Brown Adjunct Faculty Award by USF Law School in 2012. David currently serves on the steering committee of the Free Expression Network, the governing committee of the ABA Forum on Communications Law, and on advisory boards for several arts and free speech organizations across the country.
