  • Striving for a utopia of utopias with Allison Duettmann
    Nov 20 2023
    Bronic's What the (Bio)Hack?! is a podcast to discover what the hack security means for biology. Our host interviews some of the world's mad scientists and rad hackers across deceivingly unrelated disciplines to uncover what the future holds and how we can design against crime.

    In this episode, we jump on a journey with our guest Allison Duettmann that started out as a cold call and got her leading the Foresight Institute as CEO  - an organisation founded in 1986 to pursue long-term futures today. But futures can be scary and often dystopian. Allison talks to us about Existential Hope scenarios instead, displacing the concept of catastrophic risk with utopian alternatives. We explore the power of cooperation and privacy-preserving technology development and debate on whether open or closed security building is more effective. Allison explains her belief in "swarming problem solving" and we discuss the promise of multi-polar Artificial Intelligence (AI) as security design of a better future. Tune in to discover how to attend Vision Weekend and how you can contribute to AI safety!

  • Talent is fundamentally social with Arnaud Schenk
    Nov 7 2023

    Bronic's What the (Bio)Hack?! is a podcast to discover what the hack security means for biology. Our host interviews some of the world's mad scientists and rad hackers across deceivingly unrelated disciplines to uncover what the future holds and how we can design against crime.

    In this episode, our guest Arnaud Schenk talks about tech and startups, as well as the concept of talent being fundamentally social. Arnaud has been working in tech and startups for over a decade, starting at a young age after dropping out of high school. We chat about various topics such as personal journeys, education, intentionality, entrepreneurial experiences, and the influence of others on personal achievements. Arnaud's ultimate mission is to build "Institutions of Becoming" and we delve into his new project "Polaris - A fellowship for the underestimated", funded by Entrepreneur First, a talent investing firm. The fellowship is to pursue the work you feel most drawn to — whether mastering the established, or exploring the unknown — unencumbered by institutions and the second cohort is currently open for applications & brewing. Is creation an ideological pursuit? Should all startups work in public? Is the early expectation of having good judgement on your career selection the best strategy to your road of becoming? We answer these questions and much more!
