E36 The Gentle Singularity
In Sam Altman’s blog he talks about “The Gentle Singularity.” https://blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-singularity He says, “We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far, it’s much less weird than it seems like it should be.”Brick and Ed discuss this idea. AI news breaks every day if not every hour, but somehow, we are getting used to it. While it is challenging and sometimes confusing, it somehow seems like we were expecting worse. Somehow, we are getting used to this pace of chan...

E35 Intellification
In this Episode 35, Brick and Ed discuss Intellification. Intellification is a big idea: making sure artificial intelligence reaches everyone — not just the rich, educated, or urban elite. Just as electrification transformed the 20th century, Intellification can power the 21st. The spread of electricity wasn’t automatic — it required intention. Someone had to decide that everyone, not just the privileged, deserved access to the transformative power of a new technology. Today AI is in a position remarkably similar to electricity in 1925: a powerful tool changing how the world works but mostly concentrated in the hands of those wi...

86. Uppdrag inte helt omöjligt (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, 2025)
Podden har gått full circle. Första filmen Dick och Daniel var och såg ihop på bio var mission impossible – dead reckoning part one. Och det var ju även första filmen dem pratade om i det första avsnittet. Så ett väldigt betydelsefullt avsnitt som får en att vilka titta tillbaka i katalogen hur långt podden har utvecklats.

In this 13-minute Episode 32, Brick Thompson and Ed Daniels discuss AI's impact on employment and how the ‘Bottom Rung’ jobs may be going away…replaced by AI Agents. Brick notes that this will present a problem for companies where typically new talent is brought in at an entry level, and as new employees gain experience, they advance up the career ladder. Without the Bottom Rung jobs, experienced people will not be available to fill the next level of jobs as managers advance up the ladder and, eventually, retire. Ed notes that new college graduate...

The script is flipped from last time. Kelly doesn't like to mix magic with his sci-fi; Steve just thinks it's an enjoyable movie. Without any love in his heart, Kelly turns to smut and DEI jokes. It ain't pretty. From Slate: Whose idea was it to turn Minority Report into a mushy declaration of humanism? It ends up as less of a warning about an Orwellian police state than a protest that Pre-Cogs are people, too. It's Dick-less.

In the local context, AI meeting summarizers could transcribe neighborhood meeting discussions and extract key points and arguments.

Säsongens näst sista avsnitt blir en Golden Oldie! Kanske en av de mest gyllene oldies om du frågar Dick vad han tycker. Grabbarna dyker djupt in i John Carpenters mest kontroversiella film, som dissades av kritiker när den kom ut men har efter det blivit en kult klassiker. Man diskuterar även termen "AHA"-Skådespelare, Daniels skäggväxt och varför detta avsnittet blev så mycket längre än dem andra avsnitten. Allt detta och mer gott snack från killarna i källaren i detta avsnitt.

Letting Go of the Burden of Diet Culture
On this week’s podcast, we’re talking about the legacy burden of diet culture. You might be asking, what is a "legacy burden?" Excellent question! According to IFS (Internal Family Systems), we all carry burdens, which are “the negative beliefs, emotions, sensations, or other energies that were absorbed and accumulated from past traumas and other life experiences.” In other words, through difficult and traumatic experiences, our parts end up taking on difficult emotions and beliefs. In addition to picking these up from our own traumatic experiences, burdens can passed on to us from family members (legac...

I have no willpower! How many times have you said this to yourself? Any time a diet fails or an exercise regimen gets thrown by the wayside, we always blame willpower, don't we? Or our lack of it, I should say. There must be something wrong with us that we just can't stick to a diet. It can't be because we're starving all the time and eating foods that we don't like while completely cutting out the foods we do enjoy, right? I hope you caught my sarcasm there :).
