Thinking On Paper: A Technology Podcast For Curious Minds

If powerful AI ends disease and poverty, what comes next for humanity? In this Thinking on Paper pocket-edition, Jeremy and Mark dissect Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s essay Machines of Loving Grace. Amodei sketches a near-term world—five to ten years—where reliable cures for infectious disease, most cancers, Alzheimer’s and even genetic disorders, are a reality. The conversation pushes that optimism up against tougher questions: who owns the data-center “country of geniuses,” how rich and poor nations close the access gap, and where humans find purpose once work and scarcity recede. Highlights: * Nobel-class models tackling biology, neuroscience, economics and governance in parallel, compressing a century of progress into a decade * Mental-health cures and “biological freedom” on the table—alongside scepticism about complexity limits machines of loving grace * GDP gaps, universal basic income and why the “human in the loop” remains the toughest bottleneck * Meaning, creativity and empathy as the last levers humans may still control Please enjoy the show.

Good news ladies and gentlemen, Death isn't the end! Your consciousness lives on for eternity. In Chapter 10 of Irreducible, Federico Faggin, Mark and Jeremy Think on Paper about the real architecture behind consciousness: The Seity. Quantum gremlins, seities want only to know. To know themselves and help the universe - The One - know itself. And the seities have been here from the beginning, because they are everything. Reality is a construction of seities.

Consciousness, life and free will exist from the very beginning as properties of the holistic whole (The One). According to Federico Faggin, the inanimate universe didn't come first, but derives from a deeper quantum reality inhabited by seities with consciousness and free will that communicate meaning with each other. In this week's Thinking on Paper Book Club, Mark and Jeremy read Chapter 9 of Irreducible by Federico Faggin and try to understand the meaning of life, the universe and everything in it.Please enjoy the show.

Can AI ever be aware? Can it be conscious—and if so, what would that mean for business and the future of work? In this week's show, Jeremy and Mark sit down with Ram Srinivasan, author of The Conscious Machine: From Artificial to Enlightened Intelligence, to think on paper about consciousness, Advaita Vedanta, panpsychism and why Eastern philosophy changes how we design every AI system. It might be the most important podcast on AI you listen to today. * Rethinking work in an exponential age Linear mindsets can’t keep pace with automation. We explore how to direct AI toward human flourishing, not just efficiency. * Trust as the new currency From autonomous agents to AI-native organizations, credibility, values and wisdom are the foundations of any lasting advantage.

Top-shelf AI chips don’t go to market. They go straight to the vaults of Amazon, Google, Microsoft. Billion-dollar pre-orders. Closed systems. No ownership. No access. Just press releases and a rising stock price you’re supposed to cheer for. Kony Kwong isn’t cheering. He’s building the alternative. GAIB turns GPU clusters into yield machines. Real hardware. Real cash flow. Real contracts. You don’t need deep pockets. You need guts and a wallet. Inside this episode: - How GAIB wraps racks of H100s into smart contracts that spit out income - What it takes to audit a global data center rental pool with chain-native transparency - Why the next trillion-dollar asset class isn’t crypto, and it isn’t AI. It’s compute - What Big Tech doesn’t want you to see: that retail capital can actually own the pipes - How GAIB secured $400 million worth of live GPUs and opened the gates - And yes — the risks. Depreciation. Defaults. Regulatory smoke. We get into it. This isn’t a stock tip. This is a blueprint for taking part in the AI revolution without playing someone else’s game. Own the compute. Collect the yield. Or keep applauding from the cheap seats.Please enjoy the show.
