#842 Jab, Jab, Cross - Mercedas Taaffe-Cooper

Who are we? Why are we the way we are? How do we see us? How do others see us? Where does our sense of self come from? What is our identity? And did we create it or did it create us? Do we conform to it, or does it emerge as a byproduct of what we do, why we do it, and how we do it? Bobby, Tiff and I took a stroll through these questions and more in this somewhat reflective and philosophical instalment of TYP.

Understandably, there’s a growing concern that AI could be the beginning of the end for our cognitive function, creativity, and IQ. My opinion is that we shouldn’t worry but we should be cautious and aware. There’s a big distinction between using AI to outsource our thinking and using it as a collaborative tool (one that’s in our control, not the other way round) to improve performance, efficiency and outcomes in different, contexts, tasks and capacities. We explore this and lots more in this instalment TYP.

#2215 Can AI F*ck Up Our Brain? - Patrick Bonello

It seems that people are becoming addicted to more and more things. But are they actual addictions in the context of some of the more recognisable and familiar addictions (drugs, booze, gambling, porn)? Or, are they ‘mere’ obsessions, compulsions or disorders that also lead to poor, and sometimes devastating, personal outcomes? Is there a line? If so, what is it, and where is it? This is a complicated topic and conversation, but at the very least, we had an interesting chat about it. Enjoy.
