Audio Signals Podcast

It is Episode 41 | Our guest are George Platsis and DJ Zeus | We start with music, of course | Do we let AI decide what we eat and how we live? | Is technology a tool or a crutch? | Are modern societies driven by natural or handmade needs | Crowdsourcing innovation

______________________________

There is one truth that is not told enough: technology is not magic — but it can be magical.

Technology is human — it is part of who we are… our evolution… our future.

Will it be a Dystopian or Utopian one? Well, that is up to us, and nobody else.

Times are changing fast — not too long ago, I used to race bottle caps on chalk-designed circuits and now look at these kids about designing, building, land, and racing two autonomous vehicles on the Moon? Ok, maybe I am older than I like to admit 😬

Nevertheless, what a great time to be alive. All sorts of technology are advancing faster than ever before; the internet, virtual reality, the metaverse, and space exploration is getting to the next level - just to mention a few things. But let’s not forget that the future belongs to the next generations, it always does, and our job is to give them all the wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration we can.

Mary is doing her part. Let’s hear about it!

I conceive, capitalize and execute profitable projects that have inspirational, entertainment, and educational impact across broad audiences. The start-up space is my sweet spot, from creating experiences to capturing the unscripted stories for distribution across multiple platforms, including television, digital, mobile, and next-generation media.

My current project, Moon Mark, will capture global audiences with the stories of six teams of high school explorers who compete to become the final two that will design, build, land and race two autonomous vehicles on the Moon. They will communicate peer-to-peer with young people who will become explorers in space and on Earth; and open a talent pipeline for the workforce of the future.

Once upon a time, a student that hated the school system made his mission to change it. Today he is going strong at it, and he is telling us how and his vision for 2030.

Inspired by one of his articles, we invited Michael Yates, Co-Founder of Guide, Keynote Speaker & Education Consultant.

“What was school like for you? I hated school. I hated the desks in rows, the standardized testing, and the awful cafeteria food. More than anything, I could not stand the vast amounts of time I felt I was wasting by learning things that held no relevance to my adult life. As a student, I dreamed of doing school a different way. I now spend almost every day working to disrupt and change the system that I believe failed me and so many other students. I talk, write and dream so much about the future of learning, education, and schools. Here is what I think school could look like in 2030.”

Join us for this passionate conversation about what school should and should not be.

Networking, negotiating, communicating, leading, and career planning—all skills that are critical to your career success. But did anyone ever teach you these skills? 

In today's episode, we speak with author, Mark Herschberg, to learn how and why mastering these vital skills are necessary to yield outsized returns for your career and your income.

Do we go with the flow and let the career lead us? Do we jump over obstacles and plough through roadblocks to reach the other side where the grass is greener? Or, do we take a more calculated, multi-skilled, multi-faceted approach to define the outcome we want and the path(s) we need to take to get there? Ultimately, the choice is your and yours alone. It's a question of how much getting to the desired outcome matters.

Have a listen.

About The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You
The book is divided into three sections: Career, Leadership & Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics. Although the topics do reinforce each other each chapter can be read on its own. If you’re facing a particular challenge you can jump ahead to any chapter. At the end of the book you'll have developed a wide ranging set of skills for your career. You'll be able to create a plan to get you to where you want to go, and apply the other skills both strategically and tactically to accelerate your career.

On this Audio Signals Episode, Sean and Marco are joined by a returning guest on ITSPmagazine, Valerie Fridland. 
Join the conversation and learn some new words with them.

"Which Word Takes Top Prize as Word of the Year?

Politics, the pandemic, and social media inspire a bumper crop of new words.

• Language experts recently voted on the word that most summed up this year’s cultural zeitgeist.
• A word arising from the controversial and divisive U.S. political landscape in 2021 took the title.
• Pandemic-related and TikTok-inspired terms also reflected our national preoccupations.

The words COVID and pandemic might have still reigned supreme this year, but in the quickly changing world of language use, they are already so last year. This year, words both lighthearted (bussin’, cheugy, yassify) and serious (big, lie, insurrection, omicron) were bandied about in the run-up to the American Dialect Society’s Word of the Year (WOTY) vote. For the language experts tasked with whittling down the field for 2021, only words that really caught the year’s zeitgeist rose to the top. So, what words made the cut as new and, most importantly, notable?

And the winner is..."

On this podcast, ITSPmagazine's Co-Founders, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin venture away from The Intersection Of Technology, Cybersecurity, and Society to discover new stories worthy of being told. This conversation is about music and how it, at the same time, defines and reflects society.

In this first episode dedicated to this theme, Sean and Marco invite two friends that had a past and have a present life in the music industry, on top of being very talented security professionals.  

Part 1: Electronic, Dance, Club, Techno, Trance, And House Music
An Audio Signals Conversation With Scott Scheferman And George Platsis

We talk about what drives their passion, the role of the audience in driving what they do and where / when the line is crossed between art and the commercial side of it.

The role of the machines in this music genre and how it is vital to push the limits of what can be done with any available technology as part of the creative process.

The pillar value of playing, creating, and producing music with "intent" as the driving force for developing your artistic persona and connecting with the audience.

Of course, all of this, in the more extensive scope of discussing and understanding how music is the mirror, but also a driving force for change in our societies.

Enjoy it.

This is a story that you haven’t heard yet, but we guarantee that it won’t be the last of its kind. It is a tale of art, technology, digital collectors, Artificial Intelligence, creativity, NFTs (Non-fungible tokens), and so much more.

It starts with a painter that has spent precious time creating an original piece of art. As soon as the brush rests on the table, an art critic judges the job, forcing the artist to start over again and do better. The painter returns to work, the critic weights in again, and the process repeats until the antagonist is fooled. Finally, the adversarial challenge is over; the piece is minted and eventually sold to a human collector. Because you see, the artist is AI. And so is the critic.

Now the collector that acquired the piece is challenged as well. A new decision must be made: keeping the digital art, auctioning it, or obtaining a second one and eventually renounce both to create a new unique piece of the two originals that will be “burned” to give life to the new one and eventually be acquired, potentially changed by the new owners that will add yet another chapter to the history of the piece.  

An ever-changing art story is possible because of AI, NFTs, and the human creativity that fuels art.

So, can Artificial Intelligence be an artist? Can it be it on its own, or it must have the human input to be considered such?

Of this and much more, we talk in this podcast with Ben Kovalis and Marco Ciappelli.

Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts about the matter. Whether you are a digital or human entity, either way, we will treasure your feedback. 😬
