What is the point of existence? What will AGI be concerned with? | The Ruttens E14

In this episode we go (maybe a little too) deep on the bigger questions. What is the human experience and where does it seem to be leading? What comes next? What pursuits will become interesting when biological motivations fall away? It sounds weird, but the answer feels kind of obvious. (Which means we're definitely wrong about it 😂) Follow Us on X!

99% of unhappy people are 7 days away from being happy. | The Ruttens E13

Happiness is way more available than people think. Our minds have evolved to let the pressure lift when a real solution is getting closer. All you actually need in order to feel better is progress. It may feel like, "I have to solve this problem that is month or years away from a solution before I will be happy." The reality is you just need to make progress and the majority of the discomfort around the problem will lift. Follow Us on X!

Has AGI arrived? Dissecting Open AI Internal Leaks | The Ruttens E12

The 2nd half of this episode gets pretty strange as we started exploring the metaphysical side of AGI. Documents have been leaking from Open AI employees that seem to indicate either AGI is very close or already here. We get into the leaked project that may have broken at least some types of encryption as well as "synthetic data" and its potentially democratizing effect on who can train these models. This one was a brain breaker. Follow Us on X! Katie: https://twitter.com/katieruttn Kyle: https://twitter.com/kyleruttn

Happy New Year, It's the End of the World | The Ruttens E11

In this episode we get into the converging forces of technology and culture and where we think it might lead. One thing is for sure, there world is about to change dramatically. It's impossible to say what things will look like on the other side of the apocalypse but we are keeping our fingers crossed. We hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season, enjoy the show :) Follow Us on X! Katie: https://twitter.com/katieruttn Kyle: https://twitter.com/kyleruttn

Why you should start a business in 2024 | The Ruttens E10

Literacy was once a novelty. Slowly, the ability to read and write became viewed as a must by society. We believe the skillset of a business owner will follow a similar arc. In this episode we talk through why now is the best time in human history to start a business. We also think through common problems and objections that people face when considering this lifestyle shift for themselves. Hope you enjoy. Follow Us on X!
