Tesla, SpaceX, The Promise And Ethics Of Artificial Intelligence - And "Third Life"?
Marcel Gagné is a tech guy with a focus on Linux and Open Source software. He is a multi-award winning writer and columnist, and author of the "Moving to Linux" series of books. He has written for a number of magazines. He is probably best known as the creator of "Cooking With Linux", his trademark column which ran for ten years in the Linux Journal.
Outside of his open source wordsmithing, Marcel’s been an editor, editor in chief, and is a published science fiction and fantasy author. He's a former Top 40 DJ, a radio and television personality, YouTuber, a pilot, an enabler, and an occasional Agent Provocateur, and he folds a mean Origami T-Rex. Marcel also co-hosts TIC TEK TOE, a light-hearted technology podcast, with Evan Leibovitch, who was a former guest on the show.
Today Marcel and I are discussing his diverse career, Tesla, SpaceX, the promise and ethics of Artificial Intelligence. We also ponder VR and the possibility that Second Life was before it's time.
