Producer Picks
Jon:
This week was full of amazing guests and demos, but the conversation that stood out to me the most this week was Tim Urban on episode 1779!
Tim Urban is the brilliant mind behind the blog Wait But Why.
He and Jason discussed a recent blog where Tim highlighted the pace of human evolution in relation to AI and how advanced societies progress faster than less advanced societies.
The two then had an interesting conversation about where humanity is on the path toward AGI (25:36).
Founders, investors, and anyone interested in technological evolution should watch episode 1779! (YouTube | Podcast)
Nick:
My top moment from last week came from PathAI CEO Andy Beck’s conversation with Jason on E1780.
PathAI is bringing AI-powered solutions to disease and cancer diagnosis, helping pathologists become more efficient and more accurate.
Amazingly, near the seven-minute mark of the episode, Andy estimated that ~90% of healthcare-related microscopic imaging in the US is done OFFLINE (not even digitally, never mind with AI capabilities!)
It’s a really great moment because it shows how far we still have to go in healthcare, despite the monumental advancements over the past century or so.
Definitely check out this episode, it has everything: a great founder, an interesting company, a cool demo, and an amazing mission! (YouTube | Podcast)
