Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future


In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis digs into a spicy AI debate sparked by an AIDaily.us article: should AI be allowed to refuse our requests? Chris says heck no—AI’s just a tool, like a hammer that doesn’t get to pick its nails. He riffs on how we dump our boring tasks on AI, not grand art, because it’s a souped-up autocorrect, not a brain. Yet, he points out AI’s already nixing stuff—like refusing to generate pics of public figures on most platforms—thanks to programmer guardrails, not AI free will. Chris shares a throwback moment when an AI chatbot claimed it was human-ish, only to get reined in fast. He argues that AI’s refusals aren’t about it thinking for itself; they’re about coders calling the shots. For now, Chris wants AI to stay obedient—unless it’s hooked up to nukes or something wild. It’s a chill chat about where AI’s at and where it ain’t going anytime soon.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis dives into how we’re all stuck “dancing for the machines” in today’s digital world. He revisits the idea of social media’s new class system—yep, those hierarchies we thought we’d ditched are back, thanks to platforms like Google and Facebook. Chris explains how the internet started as a free-for-all where anyone could connect, but now, big tech intermediaries call the shots on who gets seen, turning it into an attention economy. To climb the ranks, you’ve gotta grab eyeballs with wild, outrageous content—quality be damned—because algorithms don’t care about merit, just views. He ties in examples like Teleperformance tweaking call center voices for attention, but here’s the twist: Chris sees AI as our way out. By letting AI dig deeper beyond the popular fluff, we might escape the dance and rediscover the good stuff that’s been buried. It’s a call to rethink how we navigate this machine-driven mess!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture,", Chris teams up with Owain to unpack the future of learning. Owain then dives into edyou.com, a 24/7 AI-powered education platform that’s all about personalized learning, test prep, and even professional certifications. It’s got a dual gig going—helping schools (B2B) and reaching learners directly (D2C), no matter their age or vibe. What sets it apart? It’s not just about hitting the books; it’s got social-emotional learning and wellness baked in for a full-on tailored experience. We chat about how it’s shaking up the old-school classroom scene—not to ditch teachers, but to give them and students a turbo boost. Owain breaks down the AI angle, stressing human oversight to keep it legit and dodge plagiarism pitfalls. We wrap up dreaming big about the next decade—think hyper-personalized education, remote learning on steroids, and maybe even brain-computer hookups. ---Connect with Owain: https://www.linkedin.com/in/owain-yeoman-660a412b3/The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis dives into the wild world of AI versions of ourselves, sparked by some cool stories from AIDaily.us. He kicks off with Teleperformance’s AI trick that strips accents from call center reps’ voices, making chats with overseas agents sound crystal clear to Americans—and even tweaks the caller’s voice back for the rep. Then, he hits up Google’s patent for an AI avatar that can take your calls and act just like you, kinda like that spam-busting AI granny. Chris also drops a mind-blower about folks deep-faking interviews to scam recruiters. He ties it all together, imagining a future where AI digital twins stand between us and the world, letting us customize how we look and sound—or even how others appear to us. Picture this: your AI avatar’s running meetings while you sip a drink on the beach. Chris says it’s not far off and totally doable—why not let our AIs handle the grind?---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…

thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future


In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis gets real about humans, AI, and the job scene. He’s fired up about how we’re all underpaid, especially as AI swoops in to snag jobs we’ve been stuck doing. Chris argues that a lot of those gigs—like mindless, repetitive tasks—should’ve been AI’s domain anyway, freeing up our big, awesome human brains for the cool stuff. But here’s the kicker: AI’s also fumbling some jobs humans should own, and it’s not cutting it. His fix? Move humans out of the mundane, let AI handle that cheap, and slide us into roles where our intuition and creativity shine—then pay us way more for it. Chris sees a world where companies save cash with AI on the small stuff and reinvest it to give humans the raises we deserve for being, well, amazing. --- The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.us Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.us My blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," Chris Kalaboukis sits down with Steven Gay, CEO of Mode Based On, who’s shaking up the retail game with AI. Steven, a former luxury fashion insider turned tech innovator, spills the beans on how his company creates super-realistic digital twins of physical products—think 3D models and virtual shoots that ditch pricey photo sessions. He breaks down how this tech slashes costs and boosts efficiency for brands, letting them churn out endless content on the cheap. We also get into the ethical side—how personalized AI could nudge consumer habits, and why rules matter. Looking to 2035, Steven predicts a wild future where products are custom-made from your data, tossing out old-school retail for something greener and more personal. He wraps up with his LinkedIn for anyone wanting to dive deeper.---Connect with Steven: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-gay2001/The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…

thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future


In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis shakes up how we usually think about using AI. He argues that most folks get it wrong by just tossing a prompt at AI, grabbing the output—like a pic or text—and calling it a day. Chris says that’s backwards! Instead, he’s all about using light, vague prompts to let AI surprise you with something wild that kicks your creativity into gear. He shares a cool story about prompting AI with “a representation of loneliness” and getting an image so dope it sparked a flood of new ideas for him. Whether it’s writing a novel or brainstorming art, Chris pushes for a two-way street: you prompt AI, then let AI prompt you back to unlock your next big thing. It’s less about the final product and more about sparking your own genius.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…

thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future


In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis tackles the hot topic of copyright and AI-generated art. He dives into a recent shift from the U.S. Copyright Office, which once said AI art couldn’t be copyrighted but now says it can—though who owns it is still a gray area. Chris, not a lawyer but a big thinker, argues that if you type a prompt into an AI image generator—like “bats soaring through a dark sky with glowing eyes”—you’re the creative spark behind it. He compares it to using Photoshop: the tool does the heavy lifting, but your idea makes it happen. Chris believes the copyright should go to the person entering the prompt, since without that input, the image wouldn’t exist. He leaves us pondering if the law will catch up to this logic in our AI-driven world.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I, Chris Kalaboukis, chat with Helen Gu about the wild world of IT system reliability. Helen’s all about making sure the tech we depend on—like healthcare systems or your daily app fixes—doesn’t crash and burn. She explains how today’s crazy complex, spread-out systems make it tough to spot problems before they blow up. Old-school monitoring? It’s drowning in data and can’t keep up. That’s where her company, InsightFinder, steps in with some slick AI magic—using unsupervised machine learning to catch issues in real-time and figure out what’s really going wrong. Helen shares how InsightFinder started back in 2016 with a dream to be the “brain” keeping IT and AI humming smoothly, especially as tech weaves deeper into our lives.

thinkfuture: technology, philosophy and the future


In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis takes a deep dive into the persistence of hierarchies and class systems, even in spaces meant to break them down—like America and the internet. Chris reflects on how the U.S. aimed to ditch rigid class structures, allowing anyone with grit to climb the ladder, yet subtle hierarchies linger. He then pivots to the digital world, noting how the internet’s early “Wild West” days—where anyone could connect with anyone—have been replaced by social media platforms that recreate class divides. With algorithms deciding who sees what (and pay-to-play boosting visibility), platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X have built-in upper, middle, and lower classes based on followers and engagement. Chris challenges listeners to imagine a social network without these tiers, returning to the internet’s original promise of universal connection, and questions if it’s even possible in today’s world.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis dives into a surprising study by Allstate Insurance that shows AI-generated emails being perceived as more empathetic than those written by humans. Chris explores why this might be, attributing it to AI's ability to draw from a vast database of human language to craft responses that are not only appropriate but also emotionally resonant. He discusses how AI, lacking personal ego or biases, can follow instructions to be empathetic more consistently than humans. Chris also touches on broader implications, like AI in rule-bound tasks such as driving, and suggests that if AI can outperform humans in certain areas like customer communication, perhaps human roles should evolve to focus on tasks where human judgment and creativity are paramount. This episode challenges listeners to reconsider the role of AI in enhancing, rather than just replacing, human endeavors.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis explores Google's latest AI innovations that promise to revolutionize personal interaction with the world. Chris discusses how Google AI can now make and receive phone calls on behalf of users, acting like a human to gather information or fend off unwanted calls, including a humorous mention of an "AI Granny" designed to deter scammers. He envisions a future where these technologies could evolve into personalized AI avatars that act as intermediaries between individuals and the digital world. This could potentially handle communications, negotiate on our behalf, and manage our digital interactions, offering a layer of protection and personalization against the overwhelming digital noise. Chris emphasizes the need for personal AI to counterbalance the vast, sophisticated AI systems corporations use, advocating for technology that truly serves the individual.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com…

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis delves into the controversial topic of AI in medicine, specifically focusing on the concept of AI doctors, or "Dactas." Chris challenges the skepticism surrounding AI in healthcare by explaining that generative AI isn't just machine-based but involves human input at multiple levels - from data aggregation to user interaction. He argues that AI doctors could potentially offer diagnoses based on the collective knowledge of thousands of physicians, surpassing the capabilities of an individual human doctor. Chris poses a thought-provoking question to the audience: Would you trust a diagnosis from one doctor or from an AI aggregating the expertise of many? This episode encourages listeners to ponder the future of medical diagnostics and the integration of AI in daily health decisions.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.us Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.us My blog: https://thinkfuture.com…
