    Quotes from the show
    “I started back in '87 with a company called Electronic Arts as they started to hire their first people outside of North America. It was very much a hobbyist business back in the 80s. The people who were playing games were also trying to make games in their bedrooms.”
    “On the technology side, as far as development goes, the rule-based systems in graphic physics and lighting allowed developers flexibility to create open worlds and for worlds to be generated around the gamer rather than everything being on rails.”
    “The graphics got people's attention and then the technology allowed the game play to get to a depth that had never been there before.”
    “We talked to them about their music listening habits and gaming habits and one of the things that was very clear - and why I was excited about the rule-based engine - was gamers were getting tired of the looping music. Even though there's a lot of clever stuff done in games today, they were turning everything off and listening to Apple or Spotify in the background.”

  • #49 What Is Quantum Computing? Quantum Scientist, Viroshan Naicker Explains

    Disruptors and curious minds! Forget the rabbit hole, we're leaping into the quantum black hole. What is quantum computing? What is quantum entanglement? How do quantum computers work? What impact are emerging technologies and quantum computers set to unleash on the world?

    Where are we on the timeline? What are the challenges?
    What will it eventually mean for business, brands and culture?
    Viroshan Naicker has a background in quantum computing. He studied theoretical and mathematical physics before doing a certificate of advanced maths at Cambridge.
    Since receiving his PhD in mathematics (his dissertation was in the field of Graph Theory - the mathematical study of networks.), he has worked as a tech consultant, a tokenomics researcher, advisor and more. He's also a writer and a very curious mind.

    • #48 Smart Cities, Smart Contracts & Smart Children: With Programmer And Blockchain Entrepreneur Kevin Riedl

      Disruptors and curious minds! Welcome to another grandstand edition of your emerging technology podcast, Thinking On Paper. This week, you're going back to school.

      Are Children Ever Too Young To Learn About Blockchain?
      Many of you know Kevin Riedl. He’s a blockchain engineer and founder of web3 software company Waveact. He writes the ‘No BS around Tech’ newsletter and is an expert at dApp development and writing smart contracts.
      He’s also a father, former firefighter and handstand fanatic.
      Suffice to say, there are many rabbit holes we could jump down with Kevin - and we will.
      But since Kevin's extensive bio reads like that of a web3 superhero, we wanted to go all Bruce Wayne and focus the show on education.
      With his company Waveact he runs web3 workshops for kids as young as 10. Every year he works with Coding4Kids to teach 10-14 years about software development, hosting lessons on Scratch (a programming language for kids developed by MIT), security issues, vulnerabilities and ‘hacks’.

          "As an adult I wanted to bring my kids back (to where I grew up), but I couldn't find the community that I came from, I couldn't find a trace of that history to share with them. I was really in a mad race to find out what I could do to urgently preserve what I felt was vanishing."
          "I built an amazing team and we created an immersive experience that recreated the
          neighbourhood that I'm from the central district of Seattle and we built an opportunity to preserve the legacy of Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Ernestine Anderson and Sir Mix A Lot."
          "In our race to create it we're losing access to history we're losing access to memories and these are the things that have inspired us and shaped our overall human essence."
          "What does it look like for us to be able to have John Lewis and Dr Martin Luther King teach us the civil rights movement using emerging technology where we can be front row seat right here in Atlanta."
          "We focus on a real Hub of collaboration where engineers and designers and programmers and artists and creators from a myriad of backgrounds converge to create solutions that are going to resonate with everyone across whole spectrum of humanity."
          "I'm currently writing a book now called Unapologetic Tech."
          "Technology and Humanity intertwine in ways that I believe are unapologetically transformative and I'm welcoming you all to the world of unapologetic Tech."
          "Experiential learning is what's going to shape the future of of Education it's going to shape the future of our connection and that should be taking place in libraries and malls and museums and airports."

          “I started selling vinyl out the back of a van in East London. I worked out of a place called The Truman Brewery on Brick Lane.”
          “We had a huge 3-week number one with a track which we wrote with Daniel Beddingfield - Gotta Get Through This.”
          “What do I do post vinyl?”
          “One day Mark Gillespie who was the talent Booker at God's Kitchen in Birmingham - one of the big super clubs in the UK - rings me and says “Oh I found this kid on MySpace called Adam Wiles. His name's Calvin Harris.””
          “That was the start of the explosion of the first company 360. We had deadmau5, Chris Lake, Nero, Feed Me, Calvin Haris, and at some point the Swedish House Mafia. We had a pretty big chunk of the top 20 electronic DJs in the world.”
          “We decided we needed to find a US partner. That became Jay Brown and
          JayZ at Roc Nation and in the next two-three year ride was a spectacular ride to the Moon with breaking Calvin and the Rihanna record and boom! Calvin was a worldwide Superstar.”
          “I'm a big picture guy I look at try to look at everything realistically from the top down and then see what the opportunities are and what do we need to do.”
          “What excites me is the underlying technology and computing power and the speed of the internet that will allow us to do “fill in gap.””
          “Discord has shown us a vision of the future where we can connect with our fans in real time without a pay wall.”
          “What we've been trying to build is a version of Only Fans meets Discord. It’s called AMP-D.”
          “In music, the 1% of the 1% are richer than they've ever been.”
          “The Super Fan wants everything. They want to be the first to know, the first to engage, the first to buy. They want to feel like a community, like family.”
          “People forget that fan clubs are not a new thing.”
          “Stop using the buzzwords. Use words that people use every day and see what happens.”
          “I'm excited about the fundamental layer of the technology and what we can vertically build up from there.”
          “We’ll keep chipping away for change in the right way. For transparency and real time accounting so it can help people run their business in their lives better and get paid better.”
          “Forward facing it's got to be, “Okay, this doesn't look scary. I don't have to write my seed phrase down and put it in a shoebox under the bed or bury it somewhere and all of this crazy stuff that you have to do.”

            QUOTES FROM THE SHOW
            “It requires some advice from your legal counsel.”
            “I've worked in litigation using emerging technology and AI machine learning for the past 10 years.”
            “There's case law about the use of Technology-assisted review in litigation; there’s precedent in the U.S about how you can defensively use it.”
            Re: Active Learning or Technology-assisted review - “We know the most relevant so we can be more strategic with what we're going to review.”
            “But those are still some of the same mechanisms; it still goes to data richness, how robust is your data set? What are you doing to train it on the back end? How are you going to refine it? What are you doing to validate the results?”
            “The legal practice is focused on two things: the law and facts and how those facts intersect with the law to help decide an issue that's in dispute.”
            “The algorithms we use tend to be LSI (Latent semantic indexing) algorithms. It creates a very robust constellation of concepts that are interconnected, not by literal words but by concepts.”
            “It creates a concept-plus-service. If you're getting documents from the opposing party and you want to see what documents they have and you want a quick snapshot, you can run conceptual indices and get what we would call concept clusters. And it can drill down into layers of specificity.”
            “The more simple and a little bit more elegant from a workflow perspective is an SVM (support vector machine). If it's on one side of the line, it's relevant; if it's on the other side, it's not.”

              • Pico Velasquez: How A Former Google Employee Is Shaping The Virtual Worlds Of Tomorrow

                Can we build more efficient, sustainable spaces, places and cities in the real world by using virtual worlds?

                What works in the physical world doesn’t always translate to the metaverse. How do you integrate the physical into the virtual? How should you think about space in the metaverse?

                Quotes from the show
                “We have digital senses, our senses that already exist that can be translated directly. But I think that each of those can be extended to higher dimensions or different versions that cannot exist in the physical world.”
                "You always have a gap between what the market is ready for and what is happening in the lab. There’s a lot of cool stuff happening that will be transferred at some point."

                “People start combining them in new ways. It's like virtual Lego. Virtual Lego that you can use to build entire worlds and create a creator economy online.”

                “There's going to be all the versions. The physical world on its own, the physical that translates into the virtual, then the virtual that is an extension of the physical, and then the virtual that is just like an extension of the physical, the virtual until eventually is just on its own.”
                “Do we actually need virtual shoes? No. But what does it mean to create an identity with virtual shoes? What else does that brand represent, beyond shoes? It represents a community. Go Supreme or go Nike. It's not about the shoes, it's about the community and trans-generational identity.”
                "Web3 came is more than a concept, it's an ethos, right? It’s about sharing, equal distribution, a more progressive, inclusive way of building communities and supporting products."
                "The four pillars are experience, commerce, community, and impact. Those are the ones that I mostly use in all of our projects."

                • #40 Technology Is Your Ultimate Business Tool. Wield Its Power - With Israel Wilson

                  Technology for the sake of technology doesn't usually work out.

                  But what about when technology helps unlock something amazing without introducing new complexities? Sometimes the technology is beautifully applied, but the system it aims to reimagine locks it in a closet. Other times, the experience is so convoluted, it collects dust on a server. So, how do we know when we've hit the mark? Is innovation both centrifugal and centripetal? Thankfully, this week's guest has nearly fifteen years at this very intersection.
                  Israel Wilson is dedicated to reducing opacity around technology and culture for businesses and individuals. By leveraging his multifaceted expertise, he turns emerging technologies like AI and Web3 into accessible tools, fostering understanding and innovation for positive change.

                  From the publisher's feed

                  The human story of technology. Are you tired of the algorithm choosing everything for you? In a world increasingly vibe coded by 20-year-olds and run by billionaires, this is where you think about technology for yourself.
