Tech Society

What kind of world do you want for your kids?
 
Environmental degradation. Food and water shortage. Climate change and an unwanted cast of future doom and gloom tied to a fractured economic model?
 
Our way of life is no longer sustainable!
“Waste lots want more” is an outdated linear economic model. The way forward for humanity would be an adoption of a circular economy which is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.
 
Our champions for sustainability in Western Australia, Holonic Co-Founders Dylan Lamb and Andrew Thomson passionately explains to Alex and John from Ninja Software the compelling reasons for this economic shift that needs to happen. It also involves changing consumer habits.
COVID have driven home the message to all of us the importance of building a collaborative community to accelerate real changes. From the perspective of community impact, the Holonic team referenced RideFair* as the epitome of keeping the flow of income within the community.
 
*RideFair, an open-sourced rideshare cooperative is possibly the first circular tech in the world. From the point of sustainability and giving back to the community, RideFair is the future of rideshare.

In times of turbulence, you need to be the voice that can be trusted. An experienced media account manager can provide a clear blueprint to deepen the message.

Today we have Bernadine White, Corporate Account Manager from Business News.
Deeply impressed with her passion and tenacity in helping Ninja Software build brand awareness in a highly disrupted marketplace, Ninja CEO Alexander Dunmow and CTO John Nguyen were compelled to interview Bernadine.
 
What is the formula for being an exceptional account manager?
 
“Purpose, Process, Payoff”, is her simple answer. As a commercially minded, result-driven sales and marketing leader across a diverse range of relationship management and business development roles spanning three decades, Bernie passionately shares the critical role of emotional intelligence, people culture and the impeccable type of leadership that can bring out the best in their organisation.

Everything and anyone can affect everything and anyone. Even Created Beings!

Says Geoffrey Drake-Brockman, cybernetic artist specialising in large-scale public installations. His creations interact with audience in an AI loop which still elicit surprising outcome for the creator and his audience.
Alex and John from Ninja Software find themselves in the wonderland of Geoffrey’s workshop where his incredible vision is tooled into life.  Surrounded by robotic objects that are both delightful and enigmatic, often chiming in their existence throughout the interview, Geoffrey spoke of the social impact of technology, which forms the inspiration of his work in connecting us to our humanistic traits as we barrel deeper into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Explored here is the philosophical and pragmatic consequences that could be distilled from our responses to art.
AI, Bots, Created Beings – What are they telling us about us?
