Future Talk

Does the age-old view that going to university is required to be successful? Sam and Harry discuss this and more. They cover cohort-based courses, with Harry talking about his experience with On Deck and both bringing up how they've learned from online courses. Is there also an opportunity for VR learning as well?

With an increasing population, food may become scarce, and humanity will have to adapt to eating genetically modified food or even insects. Sam and Harry discuss this as well as the ramifications for our water supply. 

Sam and Harry are back after a long hiatus to discuss the Tesla robot announced at their AI Day in late August. They discuss the broader implications of robots in the workplace and when they imagine it will happen.

Note from Harry: When discussing Boston Dynamics, I said they're owned by Google. This isn't correct. Google sold Boston Dynamics to SoftBank who have since sold them to Hyundai. Sorry for that mistake. 

Sam and Harry are joined by a special guest today, Beth, a chartered accountant and personal finance influencer. They discuss what the future holds for managing our finances with the emergence of new technology. And how automation can make significant changes to companies' finance departments.

As tensions rise geopolitically and technology advances, what does the future of conflict look like? Sam and Harry discuss the future of warfare covering topics such as robots, AI, nuclear weapons and drones.

In this episode, rather than focusing on one specific domain, Sam and Harry discuss the technologies that excite them the most. 

Sam and Harry discuss the future of home appliances. Smart devices are becoming increasingly popular in the average person's home - from smart lights to smart assistants and even smart fridges. The conversation quickly becomes one around security. What happens if we don't adequately secure our home network? And could a person's home become a vector for a wider and more consequential attack?

Sam and Harry are once again together in person, this time discussing DeFi. Looking away from market movements and coin suggestions, they're thinking about the broader implications of DeFi. Will DeFi replace the financial system as we know it? And who are the people behind this movement?

For the first time since the beginning of the podcast, Sam and Harry have recorded in the same room (so forgive any audio issues!). Weirdly, they discussed sex. With the rise of camgirls on Twitch and the metaverse, what will physical intimacy look like in the future?

Sam and Harry attempted to derail the podcast entirely and get all controversial talking about ‘wokeism.’ Being woke is to be aware. But are people simply too woke in situations where they really don’t need to be? Are social justice movements capitalised upon by corporations for profit? They get into the nitty-gritty of all of this and more.
