Thinking On Paper Technology Podcast

The Human Story of Technology, Mark Fielding and Jeremy Gilbertson

Thinking on Paper helps you understand what technology is really doing to business, culture, family and society. Through direct conversations with CEOS, Founders and Outliers, we break down how systems work, where human incentives distort them, and what the headlines skim over. If a technology shapes the world - AI, quantum computing, digital identity, gameplay engines, surveillance, regulation, energy, space manufacturing - it’s on Thinking On Paper. Guests: IBM, D-Wave, Coinbase, Kevin Kelly

Hold on to your consciousness. In Chapter 12 of Irreducible, Federico Faggin battles classical assumptions: probability, the block universe and maths don't exist.The universe is conscious, your consciousness is made of seities, conscious units that report back to the quantum field (what Faggin calls 'The One') so that it can know itself.That is the meaning of the universe.Yes disruptors and curious minds, book club has taken a turn for the absurd, and we love it.In this episode:- Mark tries to

Consciousness, life and free will exist from the very beginning as properties of the holistic whole (The One). According to Federico Faggin, the inanimate universe didn't come first, but derives from a deeper quantum reality inhabited by seities with consciousness and free will that communicate meaning with each other. It is this self knowing of the seities that gives rise to stars and planets and... you.Yikes! Is god a seity? Or are the seities, combined into One, our real god? What if

Would you read a book written by an AI? We did. Do you care who writes the stories, as long as they move you to laughter, tears or thoughtful exploration? We do.When Brian Naughton challenged Claude 3.7 Sonnet to write a novel, he didn't expect what happened next. The result was The Echo Chamber, the first book written entirely by AI. And not only did the AI write the book, it planned and edited it. All the characters, character arcs, setting, pacing, twists and conversations. No human in the loop

Why can machines process data without ever tasting joy or suffering pain? Real curiosity? They'll never feel that.
