A highlight from AI x Crypto
"AI is very much a technology that thrives and enables top -down centralized control, whereas crypto is a technology that's all about bottom -up, decentralized cooperation. One of the points of NFTs was to support the artists, but if the artists themselves are now machine learning models, then who exactly are we supporting? One of the things that will become important in a world where anyone can participate online is to be able to prove that you are human for various different purposes. If we're going to incentivize people to contribute data, basically we're going to incentivize people to create fake data so they can get paid. So we have to have some sort of a mechanism to make sure that the data you're contributing is authentic. Hello everyone and welcome back to the A16Z podcast. This is your host Steph Smith, but today I'm passing the baton back to longtime host Sonal Choksi. This, of course, is also a crossover episode from our sister podcast Web3 with A16Z, which Sonal now hosts. There are few technologies over the last few years that have quite captured the zeitgeist like crypto and AI. So in today's episode, Sonal sits down with guests Ali Yahya and Dan Bonet to explore the ways in which these two emerging technologies oppose yet also beautifully augment one another. And they attack this from both directions. How crypto can help AI, like how crypto acts as a decentralizing counterweight to the somewhat centralizing force where AI models with more data, more compute, and more complex models do tend to win. But also how AI can help crypto. For example, are we at the point where LLMs should be writing smart contract code? And what about all these deepfakes we keep hearing about? Let's find out. Welcome to Web3 with A16Z, a show about building the next generation of the Internet from the team at A16Z Crypto that includes me, your host, Sonal Choksi. Today's all new episode covers the convergence of two important top of mind trends, AI, artificial intelligence and crypto. This has major implications for how we all live our lives every day. So this episode is for anyone just curious about or already building in the space. Our special guests today are Dan Bonet, Stanford professor and senior research advisor at A16Z Crypto. He's a cryptographer who's been working on blockchains for over a decade. And the topics have a strong intersection between cryptography, computer security and machine learning, all of which are his areas of expertise. And then we also have Ali Yahya, general partner at A16Z Crypto, who also worked at Google previously, where he not only worked on a distributed system for robotics, more specifically as sort of collective reinforcement learning, which involved training a single neural network that contributed to the actions of an entire fleet of robots, but also worked on Google Brain, where he was one of the core contributors to the machine learning library, TensorFlow. And actually, Dan and Ali go back since Ali was an undergrad and master's student at Stanford. So this conversation is really more of a hallway jam between them that I asked to join. And we cover everything from deepfakes and bots to proof of humanity in a world of AI and much, much more. The first half is all about how AI could benefit from crypto and the second half on how crypto could benefit from AI. And the thread throughout is the tension between centralization versus decentralization. As a reminder, none of the following should be taken as investment, legal, business or tax advice. Please see A16Z .com slash disclosures for more important information, including a link to a list of our investments, especially since we are investors and companies mentioned in this episode. But first, we begin with how the two worlds intersect with the quick sharing of areas or visions that they're excited about. The first voice you'll hear is Ali's. There is a really good sci -fi novel called The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson in which there is this device known as the illustrated primer. That is a kind of artificially intelligent device that acts as your mentor and your teacher throughout life. And so when you're born, you're paired to an AI, essentially, that knows you really well, learns your preferences, follows you throughout life and helps you make decisions and steers you in the right direction. So there's like a sci -fi future in which you could build such an AI, but you very much wouldn't want that AI to be controlled by a monopolistic tech giant in the middle because that position would provide that company with a great deal of control and solve these kinds of questions of privacy and sovereignty, and you'd want to have kind of control over it. And then also, what if the company goes away or they change the rules or they change the pricing? It would be great if you could build an AI that could run for a very, very long time and could get to know you over the course of a lifetime, but have that really be yours. And so there is this vision in which you could do that with a blockchain. You could embed an AI within a smart contract and with the power of zero knowledge proofs, you could also keep your data private. And then over the course of decades, this AI can become smarter and can help you. And then you have the option to do whatever you want with it or change it in whichever way you want to shut it down. And so that's kind of an interesting vision for long running AIs that are continually evolving and continually becoming better. It'd be better if it were the case that they weren't just controlled by a single centralized company. Of course, it's a very science fiction idea because there are lots of problems, including the problems of verification and the problems of keeping data private, using cryptography and still being able to compute on top of that data, maybe with fully homomorphic encryption. All of these problems continue to be outstanding, but it's not something that's inconceivable. Wow. I love Ali's vision there. I love it too, especially given that quote, I think it was Asimov that today's science fiction is tomorrow's science fact. Ali, I know you have a meta framework for thinking about all this stuff that I've heard you share before. Can you share that now too? Yeah, there is this broader narrative that has existed for quite some time now that's only becoming much more accentuated now with the development of things like LLMs. Actually define that really quickly, just for listeners who aren't already familiar, just as context. So an LLM stands for large language model, and it uses some of the technology that was developed at Google back in 2017. There's this famous paper known as Attention is All You Need. That was the title of the paper and it outlined what are now known as transformers. That's the basis basically of some of the new models that people have been training these days, including chat GPT and so on. All of these are large language models or LLMs. There was that famous, I think 2018 line from Peter Thiel that AI is communist and crypto is libertarian. That line is like very on point actually because AI and crypto in many ways are natural counterweights for one another. And maybe we can go deep over the course of the podcast into each one of these as we go through examples, but there are four major ways in which that's true. The first is that AI is very much a technology that thrives and enables top -down centralized control. Whereas crypto is a technology that's all about bottom -up decentralized cooperation. And in many ways, actually you can think of crypto as the study of building systems that are decentralized that enable large -scale cooperation of humans, where there isn't really any central point of control. So that's one natural way in which these two technologies are counterweights for one another. Another one is that AI is a sustaining innovation in that it reinforces the business models of existing technology companies because it helps them make top -down decisions. And the best example of this would be Google being able to decide exactly what ad to display for each of their users across billions of users and billions of page views. Whereas crypto is actually a fundamentally disruptive innovation in that it has a business model fundamentally that's at odds with the business models of big tech companies. And so as a result, it's a movement that is spearheaded by rebels, by the fringes as opposed to being led by the incumbents. So that's the second. A third one is that AI will probably relate and interplay a lot with all of the trends towards privacy because AI as a technology has built in all sorts of incentives that because we will have companies that want access to all of our data and AI models that are trained on more and more data will become more and more effective. And so I think that that leads us down a path of the AI panopticon where there's just collective aggregation of everyone's data into the training of these enormous models in order to make these models as good as possible. Whereas crypto moves us towards the opposite direction, which is a direction of increasing individual privacy. It's a direction of increasing sovereignty where users have control over their own data. And those two trends I think will be very important. And this is just another important way in which crypto is the counterweight for AI. And maybe the final one has to do with this latest trend in AI. The fact that AI is now very clearly a powerful technology for generating new art is now a creative tool that will lead us to infinite abundance of media, infinite creativity in many ways. And crypto is a counterweight to that because it helps us cut through all of the abundance and helping us distinguish what's created by humans versus what's created by AI. And cryptography will be an essential part of maintaining and preserving what actually is human in a world where 1000x more of the content is actually artificially generated. So these are all things that we can talk about, but I think that there is this important meta narrative and these two technologies are very much diametrically opposing in many respects. So to add to that, this is a wonderful summary. And I would say also that there's also a lot of areas where techniques from AI are having an impact in blockchains and vice versa, where techniques from blockchains are having an impact in AI. I'll give a brief answer here because we're going to dive into the details in just a minute, but there are many points of intersection. I guess we'll talk about applications of zero knowledge for machine learning in just a minute, but I also want to touch on all these applications where machine learning itself can be used to write code. So for example, machine learning can be used to write solidity code that goes into contract. It can be used to find maybe errors in codes and so on. There's points of intersection where machine learning can be used to generate deepfakes and blockchains can actually help to protect against deepfakes. And so I guess we're going to touch on all these points, but the interesting thing is that there's really quite a lot of intersection between blockchains and machine learning.

Vivid Vision
A highlight from How you can Unleash your Potential and Achieve Dreams -- Interview with Katrine Horn by Shevo Umweni
"Hi, everyone. My name is Marianne See. I'm talking to you from Portugal. Please continue listening to Chabot's wonderful podcast. He's a great, great podcast host. Hi, I'm Terry Tucker, author of Sustainable Excellence, the 10 Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. I'd like to encourage you to reach out and listen to Vivid Vision Podcast with Chabot. He's a remarkable young man, and I think you need to spend the time to listen to what he has to say. Thank you very much. Welcome to the Vivid Vision Podcast. Thank you for tuning in and making your choice to tactical strategies to implement on your way to greatness. And now, here is your host, Chabot Umani. Hello, listeners. Welcome to Vivid Vision Podcast with Chabot Umani. Today, I'm with a wonderful guest. Her name is Katrien Hahn. She lives in Toulouse in France. So the first voice you'll be hearing would be Katrien Hahn. Hello, Katrien Hahn. Hello, Chabot. How are you? I'm doing very fine. How are you? Good morning. I'm excellent. It's a beautiful day, and I'm excited to be talking with you. Thank you very much. I read you help women especially, right? You help everybody, but your concentration is majorly young. Well, most of the people who come to me for life coaching are women, and I think that's because they identify with me and with my story. So just to fill you up on that, I haven't always lived in France. I used to live, well, I was born in Denmark, which is in Northern Europe, and I wanted to play the harp when I was little. The harp is a musical instrument and like with lots of strings on it, and I thought, oh, wow, I really want to play that. And then I got the idea, well, I want to emigrate to the UK to go to music college, and so I did. And obviously, lots of people told me, well, it's impossible. You can't audition for music college and get in. You're just fantasizing, right? But you know what? I did it. I auditioned, and I got in. So that just proved to me that I could do anything I really wanted to do. And that felt so inspiring, and that is really just how I've kept living my life, having dreams and then following them. Is that something you can recognize from your life, Cebo? Yeah, I love music too. I help women, ambitious women, who've got a dream, but they can't quite believe that it's possible for them. So they're willing to believe that it's possible for other people to achieve their dreams, but they just think that they've got something that prevents them. And that could be anything, but when we really take it apart, when we really look at what is preventing them from following their dreams, it's just thoughts that they're having about themselves, about society, about their dreams. And once we have spotlighted or highlighted those thoughts, then we can question them. And that's really how coaching works. We take a thought we've got about something. So in my case, with this story I just told you about leaving Denmark to go to music college in London, my thought about that was it might not work out, right? So for me to take action, I needed to believe that it could work out. It just could. And then I just needed to practice that thought over and over again until I thought it probably will work out. Or if I do what's necessary, if I practice my heart a lot and I play really well, then it's possible. Do you see what I mean? So I'm working on my thoughts and once I've worked on my thoughts, I can then adjust my feelings because imagine traveling to the UK, believing this is not going to work. It's not going to feel good, is it? I'm going to feel despondent, defeated, that kind of feeling. But if I travel to London believing this will probably work out perfectly because I have prepared myself well. I can play beautifully and I have practiced a lot. So this will probably be a tremendous success. I said everybody has this fear in them, but it's only those that are able to conquer their fears that are able to achieve great things. Yeah, by conquering our fears, I'm much more for feeling them deeply. So my idea is that if you really feel your fear deeply, you really feel it, you get so familiar with your fear that your nervous system will no longer be afraid of it. So it sort of gets used to the fear being there and then the fear stops interfering with what it is you want to do. Do you see what I mean? Yeah.
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from Tim Keller Memorial Service
"And welcome to our memorial service for Dr. Timothy J. Keller. Before we get started, we have a couple words of welcome from Cardinal Dolan. Thank you. Friends, you're all very much at home here at St. Patrick's Cathedral. I hope you know that. Thanks, Mrs. Keller and family, for inviting us to unite, to unite in grateful, reverent, faithful, prayerful memory of a man we love and buy or miss already, Pastor Timothy Keller. Thank you, Cardinal Dolan, for your kind words. It's the other way around. We are so thankful for the sweet relationship you had with my father, and we are grateful to be allowed to use this building to remember him. So thank you, and thank you for all those who are providing for us today to be here. Please turn to page two in your program. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. What are we here to do this afternoon? After the death of a Christian, we unite to do two things always. First, we thank God for his life, for God's goodness and lending him to us for the years that we had with him. Secondly, we seek God for our life, for his comfort and presence. We aren't here just for him. We are also here for us. We need to get what we need from his Lord so that we can continue to live our lives in this world with confidence and with joy. That's what we're here to do. So let's pray with one voice all together saying, almighty and most merciful God, you are of the sorrowful and the support of the weary. Look down in tender love and pity on your servants whose joy has been turned to grief so that while we breathe we may not sink but resign ourselves into your hands to be taught comfort remembering all your mercies and promises and love in Jesus Christ who brings life out of death and can turn wailing into dancing and deep grief into deep eternal joy. We ask it in the name of him who taught us to pray say our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever amen. I love my father so I find it fitting and in true Tim Keller fashion that he planned out his own memorial service for us this afternoon. Both with my mother and him they hand -picked each of the next five hymns that we are going to sing from finding out who God is to developing a personal relationship with this God to using the resources God gives us to finally being united to Jesus in death. My father gave us even the very words that he wanted to introduce each hymn from when he was read now to honor him for the first hymn immortal invisible God only wise Tim Keller on page four of your bulletin says this I chose each hymn and there's an order to them so the first one immortal invisible God only wise is a tremendous depiction of who God is and his attributes it's really all about God who is he and what's really interesting is some of the lines in here summarizing the most important Christian ideas I've never seen summarized better so for example we're here at a cancer hospital and sometimes you want to say God what in the world are you up to what's wrong with you and the last line in the hymn is this tis only the splendor of light hideth thee there's a tendency for us to think there's a darkness in God and we're smart to instead say well wait a minute no he's more light than we can handle and the darkness is in us tis only the splendor of light hideth thee please stand to sing our first hymn together is By soaring above, by clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

"one voice" Discussed on Telecom Reseller
"As well. Chloe, do you want to add to that, why is this such an important consideration? So I think it's interesting if you look at the lit so you can go into the Microsoft website and you can see the list of satisfied contact center solutions for teams. And there's a separate list for the certified compliant recording solutions for teams. And the vast majority of the contact center solutions don't have this certified recording. So what a lot of them are doing is they're recording almost like recording in a direct routing style way. So they're just recording PSTN calls. So they're just recording the calls that go to or from traditional phone numbers. They're not recording meetings or team cities and they're also not capturing the video or the screen sharing. So that can have quite an impact on their ability to sell that contact center solution into certain areas that need that level of compliance. So especially around financial compliance, where they're will be requirements for them to record any communication related to a transaction. So if you're not recording your meetings and you're not recording your teams to teams communication, that's going to mean that you're not really able to sell that contact center solution into those businesses with those compliant requirements. So because we do record in the compliance certified manner, it means that we are able to also capture those recordings. But again, what you'll see with a lot of the companies that offer a contact center solution for teams is even if they are partnering with a certified recording company like they haven't gone to the same level of integration. Roger has. So with our integration with roger, or the integration between the two solutions, it means that you can actually play the recordings directly from the roger three 6 5 platform. You don't have to go into a separate solution to play those calls. So it kind of means that roger have this magic offering that means that they can sell or a reseller for sell this solution. The Rogers three 6 5 solution into these areas, which will also make the user feel like it's all a one stop scenario, but also covers those additional compliant requirements. And I think this is sort of to both of you that this is, I think this is what I'm hearing is why this collaboration is special. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so you can do it if you want to. No, no, no. Just go ahead. But yeah, I'm just right. So the user, let's say, now we use the streams and any place they want. A seamlessly because as long as teams work, our solutions work, and you don't have to, as you said, Chloe, you don't have to get out of your comfortable, let's say, your environment and you still got to recording available to you, correct? Exactly. Yeah. So a lot of the contact center solutions you'll see or go in and you might be able to play the recordings via the reporting, but there will be limitations, like I say, they'll just be PSTN calls. You might not have levels of additional PCI compliance or certain levels of GDPR compliance where you can fully audit everything that might have been recorded. So with our solution, you have all those additional features and compliance benefits, but you're playing those recordings directly from within that concept center into the face. So it does make it a very attractive offering. And like I say, from a channel perspective, you know, I have a lot of empathy for sales. It can make setting this solution so much nicer because you're not going to end up in those awkward conversations where you're kind of scared that you're going to speak to somebody who's got good enough technical knowledge to be able to find the holes and then you not have a great answer with this offering. It means that you can sell the solution with confidence, not having to worry that you're going to get into a certain business requirement or compliance requirement that you can't fulfill. So Chloe, does this really represent sort of some new, you know, we talked earlier in the podcast about, I think, Phoebe and mentioned, there are lots of different solutions up there. A number of integrated and also proof solutions. So why is this so special or different? I guess the message that I'd like to convey is that for the people who may have been nervous about selling solutions on teams or who do feel slightly uncomfortable getting outside of their traditional ideas, my experience would say that they should actually just be really excited because not only, as we mentioned earlier, is there an opportunity for you to still make really good margins when selling solutions on teams, it's also set up in such a different way using these graph APIs for the contact center solutions and for the core recording solutions has made the ability to deploy the solutions such a fresh breath of fresh air. I mean, I've been in the industry for 16 years, and it's been around, like I said, for 35 years. And often in the past, you're almost fudging different types of technology to make these solutions work. And that's not the case with teams, which means when it does come to rolling out. It is so much more hassle free. And from like I say, as I mentioned earlier, from a sales perspective, it's been so nice for me. You know, you have these opportunities. You roll out solutions. You don't really hear about them again unless it's nice things. Like, how do I do this? And do you offer that? And things like that. So like I say, for people that might originally have been nervous, I would say they really should feel the opposite. I think it's a really exciting time to be in this industry. Do you want to add on to that? No, I totally agree. It's really exciting times. A lot of opportunities for resellers providing solutions to customers, and yeah, this guy said, it's really a great time to be in this industry right now and work with the latest technology. It's cool. So on that very positive note, I want to thank both of you for joining me today and introducing our readers to this very interesting opportunity, a great idea winning with teams is a big thing. I think for a lot of our readers and listeners, Fabian, where can we learn more? You can go to our website WWW dot roger at three 6 5 dot IO. You can actually start also a two week trial for free. If you go to the get started button on my website or I use the contact to reach out to us. So yeah, that you can do that. Chloe, where can we learn more about oak innovation? Yes. So you're welcome to jump on to our website as well. So it's WWW dot innovate dot com and you can contact us. There's a chat on there. You can phone us. You can email us whatever you prefer in terms of your way of contacting. I mean, I'm sure you can even jump onto my teams and contact me that way too. Where everyone works for you. See, how about that? So use teams to find out more. All right. Well, thanks guys. I really want to thank you for joining me today. I hope we're able to do this again to do a follow-up podcast to see what's happening in the months ahead, but for now, congratulations on this new and interesting integration.

"So we are in a software founder and that's located in the Netherlands, independent software fender. And we develop only channel contact center solutions for Microsoft Teams, which we can not talk about. Of course, David later, but so our folks is really on Microsoft Teams. And adding solutions on top of Microsoft Teams. And cloud, could you tell us a little bit about oak innovation? Yeah, sure. So we've been around for about 35 years, we've always done telecommunication peripherals. So add ons to phone systems and adults to contact center solutions. We've done recording for the vast majority of that time. So we have got a wealth of experience in this area anyway, but we've actually done this integration with Microsoft for about two years now. And that is our main focus currently. So let's drill down into this and let's start Fabian with what the need might be. Why would you need a contact center solution for Microsoft Teams? Well, I guess just to take a little step back first is that nowadays you see that many organizations try or become a digital organization, right? So and they use Microsoft Teams for that. What I mean with digital companies, these organizations is that they facilitate the gift of possibilities for the employees to have hybrid work and so work anywhere they want more or less any time they want and so giving that flexibility a lot of conversations use my 15 to achieve dev. And Microsoft Teams is great. In this, it's great for setting up meetings, sharing files, working together with your colleagues. But it's not really designed for what I like to call external communication, customer communications, and basically what I am what you see is that the core of business is, of course, getting in touch or staying in touch with their customers. So the teams is used for that additional company, but you need to add contact center to functionality to streamline and optimize your customer communications. For example, to get what they call a 360 degree customer view, right? So you know who you're talking with or you're chatting with. Be able to process, to integrate processes or optimize them, for example, adding creating tickets on the fly right or support sales in the sales process or automate process where possible. And the last, let's say, major point, I would say to add a complex energy to my teams is to get insights. To understand what you're doing. So your own performance and be able to improve as well. So I think those three are the main points of why you should say upgrades your teams environment to a context and solution. And Claudia, it does not have a lot of interest for the channel. Yeah, it goes without saying that I think when teams first started becoming an everyday telecommunications based scenario, we were having quite a lot of feedback from the channel that they were nervous about that because especially for more traditional based telecoms companies, I think for businesses that had more of an IT background, they were more comfortable with it, but for businesses that were very much, like, say, traditional telecoms company, they were concerned about not being able to make the margins that they were used to being able to make from selling more traditional telephony. But with the introduction of these solutions. So this amazing roger three 6 5 solution means that they can now get on the teams wagon, but still make the margin they're used to making. So it's making the whole industry I think a lot feel a lot more comfortable. The Phoebe, what do you need to take into consideration when thinking about contact center solution for teams? Yeah, so I would say keep teams as your platform as I think Microsoft calls the teams as a platform. It generally speaking. So we need a contact center solution that natively integrates into teams as an app in teams like we do like writer 360 five does. To keep the infrastructure that you have set up with permissions and security that kind of stuff are the same, but also avoid that there's silo IT infrastructure or shadow IT infrastructure. So I really need to be native, the integrated. It's also important that you have based your context and solution what makes of course the extent model. So keeping your data, your stream, where it is. Again, also for compliance, very important. For the future, you also should look at the, for example, the omnichannel right now, of course, there's a lot of phone calls still coming in in organizations, but you see in certain vertical markets like education, but also a recruitment, but in more actually more and more organizations that the omnichannel becomes much more important than with omnichannel what I mean is not only the phone call should be managed and within your contact center within teams. But also, for example, the text based messaging or the web sets or WhatsApp messages or adding technology or getting integrations with other processes, so in that way, if you consider, let's say, if you look at the needs for contact center, yeah, you should consider all those points and make sure that you have to check boxes checked before making decision to proceed with your complex center. And I think what's also important and that's also one of why we work together with oak technology and clarify goal is that you see from our perspective also almost by default the need for a record and compliance recording solution
Your Daily Prayer
Hunger for the Lord
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. For they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5 6. Recently in the national news and on social media. You may have heard about revivals breaking out on college campuses all around the United States. Although summer has a tint to put that official label on what has been going on, it can be said that countless young people and thousands of other Christians who traveled far and wide to these campuses have been seeking the lord and lifting high his holy name in worship in prayer in one voice nonstop for days on end. Many people have been talking about experiencing the manifested presence of God, which has been described as a peace and joy that is indescribable. One student's testimony at one of these revivals was being shared on social media. And he said, this isn't hype. This is ordinary people crying out for a move of God. Yet it is important to remember that the fruit of a move of God. Isn't always about experiences with tangible peace or joy in a worship service or how many people have gathered. Being hungry for God goes beyond a tending revival meetings. Ultimately, true evidence of hunger in a Christian's life can be seen when a believer has an insatiable appetite for seeking Christ and his righteousness. In the sermon on the mount, Christ tells us blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. For they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5 6. Truly, there is much excitement centered around large gatherings in the name of Jesus Christ that catches the attention of the world. But I think it is important to realize that one does not have to travel miles and miles to a specific event or conference. Nor gather with thousands of other believers to experience this kind of hunger for the lord. God can revive your heart to pursue him and his waste wherever you are in the world. All you have to do is ask for him to stir your heart for that kind of hunger and thirst.

How Will the Cuban Government React to the Protests?
"Big question for me is sort of. How do you describe the cuban government right now to the view. What kind of government is it. I mean you hear. Words like dictatorship in authoritarian and his government. I mean you hear repression you hear even these reports of people getting detained and you see right. You go on social media and it's an obviously there's a lot of politicization about this topic and you really. It's really hard to navigate through those waters. So what's the best way to describe like the dissatisfaction with the government of cuba as you know as best as you can from the cuban people perspective you know. Language is tricky and this is not to evade the question. But i think that language choices often obscure some of the complexity of the analysis that that's required and that's not to sidestep the authoritarian practices that we've seen in the past couple of days fantasize that the fact that the cuban government is a one party state that doesn't allow other political parties are organized political opposition in a legal way. But i think you know there is this kind of tendency to sort of refer in an abstract way to a regime. Or sometimes you know. Nc state the system of certainly on the part of cubans on the island and in the diaspora on the one hand. Those words make a lot of sense because they are in part a result of the projection of the cuban state itself as simply kind of monolithic entity that is the representation of the people in speaks for the people with one voice. But just like the cuban people are not made up of one political strain of thought. There is diversity in the cuban government. You know whether you like it or not or think it's sufficient or not and i would say it's insufficient right. There are actions of the cuban government that are more pro economic reform less forum. I mean there doesn't seem to be however any kind of fraction government right now when it comes to maintaining one-party rule right and certainly people on the street. Many of them are just demanding. That right simply put

The Future of Voice Technology: Where Should It Head Next?
"Where do you see the real future of voice. I mean from your perspective not from where the industry is going from the intersections that you know you personally as a creator. Let's see going. Thanks you know this gets into an. And i think we've touched on this a couple of times that the Where it's going is not is is being propelled by industry and transactional stuff whether the different sectors such as banking and financial sector. That voice is getting developed. Just for that. Then you have health and medical and where you know solutions on complex combined with your bracelet or wearable or in the automotive sector where it's all about the voice in the car and what system you're working with We still have as we all know where you only get five choices more or less. It's like the big phone carriers. We only have alexa google. You know there are smaller players like bixby and cortana which are are still very huge but all are are still separate. There is no one voice system that that we all interact with. You must choose a domain to be an and then and then that's monetize to try and get you to transact So when i think of where voices going We still have a long way to go to. Just get to what we primarily see and tv shows and movies right now which is a type of programming. But we don't interact really on a certain fundamental simple level with our. You know you're asking about a restaurant and it tells you about puppies whereas i think that a lot of the time what what is missing in the voice sector which which is part of this conversation i wanted to have was was. Why aren't we designing for a more simple human experience. Even though we need these transactions what time is the movie. get by me matt. My tickets make it all.

Foreign and Defence Ministers Meet Ahead of NATO Summit
"The preparatory teleconferencing ahead of this year's nato summit which begins in brussels on june fourteenth has begun and so it seems has the preliminary staking of claims on the alliance's post trump leadership. The largely unlamented. Us president was fond of beating up on nato chiding its members for failing to meet their theoretical spending commitments and france for one appears to believe trump was not entirely wrong francis. Defense minister florence. Polly has bracingly reiterated. The listen that europe needs to be less reliant on the united states for its own defence lasalle.

It's a couple of years. I guess since president emmanuel macron's johnny belt nato being brain dead is. Is there a pattern of french irritation with the alliance well. It is historical that sometimes member nations have expressed the concerns. Their exasperation that differences of what the alliance's purpose is being franz in particular historically Go back to a the goal and his a opposition to sun aspects of nato and it's specific task. But what you do find. Ironically is that events around europe especially russia's activities have actually helped unify the nato membership more so than ever before and there is a sense of purpose now for nato speaking in one voice Which perhaps that wasn't a few years.

So it really really intention. We create the apps. That's amazing it's like voice tech- for good yes. Yes yes yes. So we are really excited about it. we partner with schools as well as non profits to kind of get those Apps within the to to the kids who have been need them the most and the one thing that we find that they're fun right. They don't really know that they're learning. So i was really really fun and then it also gives something different from just looking at a screen all day of pink playing a computer game so the people that we partner with a really excited about goes apps created. Yeah what time to launch it is. Everyone is remote learning from home. Now they're looking for tools precisely like what you're offering exactly in the big thing about it. Is that his exposure for us. We understand that yes. Most people have a device on. But they're only using it the weather or directions or to order something and so this exposes the kids to something different especially for those in underserved community who may not have a device at home it gives them extra exposure to understand it. Hey this is something that i can do. Which has led us to start creating courses or classes for young kids so that not only they're exposed to it but also learn how to create apps of their own great all right so i'm really glad to have that background. I'm sure there's you've piqued the interest of a lot of listeners. Who are probably going to check out some articles which will get into it at the end. We'll give give everybody to see. Ta that they can go and check it out today. We're talking about clubhouse. I would say we're clubhouse friends. We've been at a lot of room together. We spoke together on which has been great because we didn't really have any interaction before that maybe a couple of times twitter or something like that but We hadn't had a chance to formally so this is extending it further. We're at the podcast together. I would say someone in the voice industry. Why don't you start out by telling us a little bit about when you joined and what your first experiences were on the on the network so i joined in november. Maybe kind of late november noel. Silver is actually invited me so she myself and another friend of ours. We actually met at the conference in new jersey. The first voice conference there. So that's where we met and we kept in touch on Motive exactly And so that's where we met. She invited myself. And another lady denise to the platform my initial experience was that it was a great place for really rich conversation. So i can just bounce from room to room here with people are saying and joining i likes. I really really enjoy the fact that i can either be just a listener and just soak all the information or i can actually be involved in the conversation and i think that's the point that we miss a lot in that when we're listening you we love podcast but we would love to acts that person who's leading the podcasts or the host to just ask one question so that was the big thing for me and besides not having to get on video all the time so it's always a great bonus but my first day was like a twenty four hour marathon twenty four hours twelve or twelve hour marathon just really feeling the full of a voice what clubhouse actually causes people to feel and But then i kind of sell the into. Where the niche did i wanted to actually start participating in which was tech. I'm still around businesses startups. And so those were the main room said i really gravitated to so it. Sounds like you started out mostly as a listener but you've become increasingly more active. And i think you're you're hosting rooms now. So what did you talk about what your evolution was like. Why you sort of moved to where you are today and how you're using it today. Yes so that was one of our goals would know out in these night got onto. The platform is to educate bis small businesses about voice So obviously we had to get acclimated to the environment. What was going on. But we quickly schedule rome every friday at two central to just have it introduction to 'em where we saw amazon alexa right just as most people know about that missile. We hosted those roads every friday little small sided with a small group than it grew a little bit larger. We don't have large I would say has gotten large over time.

We not only dedicated a chapter to talk about education and how as a parent to your primary job to be an advocate for your child in education environment but it also comes up in other chapters as well for all the obvious reasons because of the effect of so many of these things on what are traditionally thought of as academic outcomes right. So we've had a lot of engagement and we talked about this before our session today. What we have found is that we as parents have needed to stay on top of everything and that began with what was the criteria that we were looking for in a school and it just so happened. Gabriel he was to. We started looking for a nursery school. Because they're not children his age in our neighborhood and he's an only child and so that social engagement was really critical so we started looking at schools when he was two which seems crazy to me at the time but what we found was that as we were looking for schools we did decide to go the private independent school route.

"The bible isn't the word of god. Let's talk about the next claim according to this progressive christian meme. The bible is not self interpreting now when christians used the phrase self interpreting. We're coming to the taxed with the assumption that the primary author of the bible is god. Right we talked about the historic definition of divine inspiration. We believe this is god's word breathed out through these people so if god is the divine author then we know that god is not confused. God does not make mistakes. God does not lie so therefore his word is not confused. his word is not lie. His word does not make mistakes and so when we say itself interpreting. We know that if there's a verse that's maybe a bit unclear about something. We interpret that verse in light of other verses. That are more clear about the topic because we know that the bible speaks from one voice. It's internally coherent. It's telling the same story from genesis to revelation but in the progressive paradigm. We've already learned. They don't believe the bible is the word of god and so if they view the bible as being written by lots of different people without one unifying divine voice. Will you can see why they wouldn't think that itself interpreting because all of these people could be in disagreement with one another. They could be contradicting with wwe each other and so in progressive christianity. It's it's perfectly fine to think that there are contradictions and inconsistencies within the bible. That's that's not a problem for progressive christians because they really don't believe that god is the primary author. The next statement this me makes about the bible is that the bible isn't a science book now. This is an interesting claim. Because i would generally agree with this. The bible is not primarily a science book however when we think about co opted language in my dealings with progressive christianity in their materials and listening to their podcasts. I've heard many times over the claim that the bible actually makes mistakes about science. It gets scientific facts wrong in fact in her book about the inspiration of scripture progressive author.

Double the one my sees a rune vinegar Paul reports on the evolving relationship between the two nations and how it's playing out in the Biden administration in 2008. Days after the election of Barack Obama, an article appeared in Counterpunch, a leftist publication about a member of the president elect's transition team. So anal Shaw The article titled Obama's Indian sided Shaw's involvement in the 19 nineties with Hindu nationalist groups in the Indian diaspora. That and the fact that our parents remained highly active in those groups. As a controversy grew shot, says she turned to powerful people on the Obama team like John Podesta. When I first raised the issue because I had seen what was happening, they sort of laughed because I thought it was dumb. And literally, like, laugh me out of the room and said, Don't waste your time on that stuff we've got other work to do now. Shaw is once again in the news, an Indian publication, said President Biden was blocking any appointees with links to Hindu nationalist groups. Aggressive groups claim this as a victory. But Shaz says she's not interested in a White House job, and an official in the Biden White House told me there is no such policy.

This are yet mine kind of message to ways to appoint and then when we stopped by hands. Just kind of kicked static. We should pull it back to cones. Perhaps well i feel a lot of the calms are i guess. I can also be pros. If that makes any sense it depends on your your story and what you want to portray right. Yeah and what you're using it for. So i think the main one is you're really limited in the knowledge that you can give the rada especially if you're only doing it from a single perspective so because you can only put across with the character puts across our character knows it can be very limiting as to actually progressing your story full it probably one of the the main ones and then because you only have one voice you're really only limited you're limited to that voice so you better make sure your characters annoying really interesting not.

Every community needs a voice but if you want to be the organizing body the convener The the organization that brings everybody together and speak on their behalf. Authentically join us.

There's elections happening this sunday. So one point eight million people have already registered to vote but we've been hearing about armed groups potentially marching on bongi. Is that still something about which there's a lot of uncertainty behavior of certain political actors notably the ex president of the country was eight with three armed groups. Friday led attacks on several towns in the west which have been decisively pushed back by the blue helmets of meniscus keeping mission and there is no attack there is no marching on the capital. They're trying to disrupt elections. They're trying to drag the country back to the game of two thousand and thirteen the international community the un. The mission government is determined the over one point eight million people registered to vote. We'll have the right to vote on the twenty seventh of december despite what spoilers are trying to currently do how unprecedented is it for the g. Five group the european union russia. The united states the world bank on the united nations to issue this kind of blanket statement. It is a very strong statement to also as you say naming a francois disease former president. International community is perfectly aligned on the question of elections in this country. it's an absolutely essential step to further consolidate a piece and the j. signed regularity speaks with one voice in his always very clear about its positions. In yesterday's communicate was absolutely essential. Pass the message to political actors and armed groups who would steal the opportunity for the citizens of this country devote as they said they want to vote. Now you like getting into the field as much as you possibly can. What are people telling you about the needs and what they hope will happen after. The poll is sunday. There's been a lot of change in this country. When i look back at the chaos of two thousand thirteen and fourteen and the violence that rain there have been significant changes but more on a macro level so roads electricity. What we need to see now after these elections is a change in the day to day life of the person who lives in a small remote village. That hasn't happened yet and so the community is still very dependent on humanitarian assistance. And will be for some time but with peaceful elections and a government in place as of thirty march. It's time now. It's time for those changes that will affect every person's day to day education work raxit nations to take hold really take hold and make an absolute difference without the help of minister. The blue helmets the un peacekeepers. Who were there. Can you get achieved what you need to get done to help the people because there is such a lack of infrastructure even though central african is immensely rich in terms of its natural resources. Central african republic is also instantly large country. The size of france and belgium put together and so the security council has given the mandate to a new sketch to protect the population in also. We have a very key role to play in supporting the election. So thanks to meniscus. Security capacity with our helmets are policing to acetate or capacity. Our technical team rea- providing critical support to the electoral preparation. Indeed to the daily life of many central africans as is the un country team and humanitarian community. I'm when you talk to the government. What do they want from you. It's not just emergency does it. They want long-term support you say the international community is unified on. Its message to andac. Doesn't spoilers for the elections. But what does the government really want from the international community moving forward. Well let me speak avenue. The international community which is we're determines and we are committed to staying in the central african republic to ensure that in every village. A family has the opportunity to send the kids to school so working on education to ensure that the children are vaccinated is a massive vaccination program being ruled out that will take many years and everyone has access to decent health. We will stay. We will invest. we will support. We will follow. We were encouraged until such time as everybody has the opportunity to live a life indignity where we all should have.

How Does the Larynx Work?
"Brain stuff. Learn boban hair. The larynx may not get the same amount of attention as the heart or lungs. But it's still an important internal oregon nestled in the next of people and other animals. The larynx helps allow for noisemaking and speech and is located below the epa gladys which is the leaf shaped flap that prevents choking by keeping food and drink out of the lungs. Part of the leering structure includes the voice box also sometimes referred to as the vocal chords. It's what makes up the bump that you can see in feel in the middle of your neck scientifically known as the laryngeal prominence but more commonly called the adam's apple a women have one to just often at less pronounced during childhood. The voice boxes of boys and girls are about the same size but when most boys hit their tween and teen years their vocal chords hit a growth spurt. This growth causes their voices to crack and eventually results in a deeper and more resonant town. So let's look at how the voice box or vocal cords work first off. Neither moniker is really accurate. The vocal chords are actually two bands of flexible smooth muscle tissue that are located in the larynx and these muscles vibrate as air moves through them on. Its way to or from the lungs. They're more properly called folds. Instead of chords we spoke by email with eric guna. Dd he explained during sound production. The vocal folds close together and start vibrating as air is expelled from the lungs and passes between them and into your mouth which helps to make the sounds. We hear when we're listening to people talk. So the lyrics is made up of a cartilage skeleton that contains the vocal folds covered by mucous lining. The folds are extremely adept at changing shape position and tension so the voice can make a range of sounds at a variety of levels if the lyrics becomes inflamed because of illness or injury the vocal chords can swell and caused laryngitis. Which is characterized by a horse gravelly sounding voice or the loss of one's voice altogether we also spoke by email. Taylor graber md. He said if they're swelling to a vocal chord from overuse cancers are trauma. The tone function produced by the vocal cord becomes altered. The sounds can also change by injury to the muscles or to the nerves that enervate or give sensation to vocal chords. However there are several sounds that we can produce out electric's even speech via whispering. When you whisper the vocal chords can stay slack and not vibrate but mrs known as an open throat whisper and it allows people who are mute. Make sound it's also a helpful technique for people who are arresting their voices such as singers or those with a sore throat. However most people don't use passive technique when they whisper instead they strain to produce a sound and this can be just as harmful to the vocal chords shouting but hey if humans and other animals all have a layerings then why is speaking uniquely human ability. Our brain formation has something to do with it but people have an especially complex system comprising the larynx which produces sound and a flexible mouth tongue and lips. That in combination allows us to generate. The precise sounds that language requires when we talk air moves from the lungs through the larynx and that sound shaped by the extreme fine motor control found in the throat. Mouth tongue. and let's we also have a bone called the hyde and this is a u. Shaped bone situated at the front broke above the larynx. According to graber he said it forms the attachment multiple muscles in the neck. A which aid tongue movement end swallowing. What's really unusual about this. Larynx related bone is that it has the distinction of being the only bone in the human body. That's free floating which means it isn't connected to any other bone instead it supported by connective tissue. The is only found in humans and the end atolls and is believed to be the foundation of our ability to speak. There are about sixty thousand people in the united states who have had their larynx removed. But only a few who've had a larynx transplant. a few people qualify. And if they do. The surgery is complex takes about eighteen hours and is hampered by shortage of larynx available to transplant. However new initiatives including lab grown in three d. printed larynx have the potential to help people recover their own voices again.

Fish farmings future, and how microbes compete for space on our face
"Now we have staff writer eric. Stock said he wrote a feature on the modernisation of fish breeding in this week's issue. Hi eric a great to be back. Sarah great to have you so fish. Farming is modernizing and on the rise. What's the big picture here. The big picture if you go back to nineteen fifty. And you compare what's happened. Over the last seventy years you can see with with wild caught fish. The overall harvests flattened off in the last couple of decades but aquaculture's continuing to rise that production of farmed seafood. Nearly half the protein that we eat from aquatic organisms is grown on farms. Most of it is freshwater and in asia most of the farm fish in the world coming from the land. These are ponds with carpenter them up. Harp common carp to loppy right trout. Catfish there are a lot of these Aquaculture species would are being grown on land. I was surprised to learn. That fish are behind the times. Humans have been keeping fish to eat or at least a look at for thousands of years. But as you point out in your story fish haven't been altered through breeding like other livestock. How things been different. The big differences that most of the seafood that we're eating it is closer to being wild than the terrestrial livestock. Do you think just because the people who did this intensive breeding the people who were interested in tracing lineages of animals and getting the best from their cows. They just weren't that interested in fish farming or in seafood. Is it just a coincidence of history that the focus of all this intensive breeding has been terrestrial animals. If you're talking about the last century or the last one hundred and fifty years worth you're talking about thousands of years right about thousands of years of thousands of years right so over ten thousand years where humans first domesticated sheep goats cows and then lived with them and over that time. Pick the ones that had the traits that they liked they gave more milk. They had more meat on the bone. That's been happening for a longer time. We've had a longer stable relationship for the most part right. There are some exceptions here for the most part a longer relationship with those animals that walk around. Then with the ones specially no from the sea and the other is that over those thousands of years. the terrestrial livestock went through population bottlenecks that reduce their genetic diversity. It's like when you bring a few parents cows to a continent but nobody's bringing around a pond full of fish right. That's a great point. It is harder to bring those with you as your trucking across the continent there is some archaeological evidence for aquaculture. There's a lot of i inference. There is evidence in australia. Aboriginal people in six thousand years ago. Where building ponds to keep eels. But who knows you know to what extent they were selecting. If you can control the life cycle that's really the key thing with domestication and being able to have it reproduce in captivity right and then you really can pick the ones that you like and selectively breed. Those for continued improvements now. Researchers are jumping way ahead skipping centuries of painstaking documentation breeding line analysis and using modern technologies to get what they want from fish. Well what do we want from fish. Eric it depends on who you are right on the one hand. If you're a fish farmer their key things that you want the first one is fish to grow well or not just fish. They'll probably say fish a lot but we're really talking about a huge range of organisms right fish. Crustaceans molluscs really hugely different organisms. But no matter what you're growing you want creatures that grow. Well they have a lot of protein that you can sell to the grocery stores new consumers. You want bigger fatter oysters. Send you want large fillets you want them coming from animals that grow quickly so maybe you can do more generations right more cycles per year. So that's the first thing you want. The second thing you want. is hardy. Animals healthy animals ones that resist disease. And this is. It's a huge issue in aquaculture breaks of disease can really hamper an operation in shrimp farms. You could lose forty percent of your entire crop. In all of those cases having disease resistant animals is a real benefit. Fast and good growers diseases in animals. Anything else that you want out of your domesticated livestock. Once you've made progress with that. Breeders will turn to traits like in what does that fillet look like was salmond consumers really like reddish pink fillets so you can read salmon to have naturally redder flesh color around her fish right rather than a longer fish war color apparently in japan trout with a bluer color and fewer spots or spots. Just in the right place on the outside of the fish that's desirable so chilean breeders of optimize their trout that they export for those qualities. What technologies are fish. Farmers livestock breeders using to achieve these goals. You need to do as a breeder is. You need to be able to pick the fish that you want to propagate so four a faster growing fish. that's not hard right. You just need a ruler. In a scale you can. And when salmon breeding got underway in the late sixties early seventies. They were getting gains in growth rate of ten fifteen percent per generation. Right at wow. And put that in the context right. If you're a poultry breeder a few percent is a really good thing. Yeah so you can measure that but it's not always simple if you want to measure the color of the flay obviously you need to Sacrifice the fish right. So you can't use that fish for a hattrick because it's It's dead so what the breeders of done is the used. Something called family based approach where they have crosses between two parents and then the offspring hundreds thousands in a tank and they can test some of those but they'd have to use siblings for the actual production of the fish that go off to the farms. How do they know which sibling. Which family members carry those desirable traits. So the technology comes into this is using genetic markers where you can look for. Little changes in the in the genome that reveal whether a favourable lille of a gene is present us. Take a little clip of the fin. If it's a fish in you can sequence that tissue for the genetic markers that are in it so that allows you to really get much more accurate selection of fish for the next generation. We talking about fish for while here. Let's move to some of these invertebrates we have you talk a little bit about oysters. Triploid oysters what is that. And what does that accomplish. Oysters in the wild. They've got like us two copies of each chromosome. You call them diploid. If you took a human and you added an extra copy of chromosome. They wouldn't survive. That moisture is our of stuffing with one voice to reader. Who know asked him. Why did you get interested. Your genetic trained as a geneticist. Why did you get interested in oysters. And he said there so tolerant of genetic abuse. Neka really manip- manipulate their genes. And they'll survive right so you can give them a whole half extra genome and they're fine or double it you can make them tetsuo -ployed and the really has a tremendous impact for improving the production of the oysters. If you make triploid waster it becomes sterile. It's healthy. it's normal. It might be hardier. More disease resistant to they. Mature faster you harvest them sooner and in some places that means you pull them out of the water. E four the disease outbreaks in the hotter warmer conditions. The next nother advantage of triplet wasters. Because they're sterile. they're not putting much energy into reproducing. Why bother so. They don't develop the same mass of sperm or eggs. That affirmative oyster does. There's more meat on them. So the real advantages to making a triploid bicester.
