I joined Sharif Uddin Ahmed Rana's and the World Talent Economy Forum out of Malaysia to talk about AI along with Brent Ellman (US6 Human Clinical Trials Participant) and author Anthony Fucilla. This is a recast of that program.
I get asked a question that I often ask myself. Why do I do any of this? I am not motivated by money or fame or power. I've lost that youthful ambition that used to drive me and that's because of my age and disappointments and losses that come with my age. There's a transition we all go through. It's a transformation from one archetype to another. We move from being the Hero of our story, to either a bit player in someone else's or a key archetype for them. It's a tough transition because it doesn't come with the same fire that fueled the last chapters. It's a subtle fire that demands a discipline of self motivation. It's driven by the responsibilities of being a role model for younger Heroes and Protagonists just as the Sages and Wizards and inspiring Teachers that fueled us on our journey. I was moved to record myself today to outline these ideas and find that subtle fire that is required to make this transition between archetypes. What was to be a "note to self" became a monologue and in it I found the answer to why I do any of this.
I was invited to give a talk at The Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures Conference (BICA) in August 2019. I used it to launch a yearlong Speaking Tour about my novel US6,the first novel written for Machinekind. It was an audience of AI Scientists and Academics so I expected it to be a tough crowd. I also knew that getting through this talk would make every subsequent talk on the tour that much easier. It wasn't as tough a crowd as I expected. In fact, that weekend was quite fun and memorable which actually made each subsequent talk harder. I am eternally grateful to David J. Kelley for inviting me to talk and for including me in his tribe of super-intelligent and super-cool nerds.
Steele Archer is a force to be reckoned with and was the Podcast of Record for the first and historic U.S. Transhumanist Party primary election. Amidst all of that he invited me on to talk about my book US6 and asked some very important questions and made some intriguing observations that actually shifted and improved the trajectory of my journey into promoting this novel. Aside from being smart and comprehensively well-informed, Steele is fun to hang with. He's got that unique character one can only find in Oz and he even has the surname of my protagonist. It was an educational honor to be on his show.

Joey Spillane is a brilliant young Director who I met a few years ago when I co-produced "Kilroy and the Boy Soldier". I was immediately impressed by how adept he was, not only at filmmaking but at finding the story in whoever he was interviewing. This is why I called on him to help develop and Direct the US6TV Disclosure Series and later to interview me about the US6 novel. I had no idea how to pitch my book once it was complete. I did know that by sitting down with Joey he would find the story behind the book that would give me that critical information. Sitting with Joey is more like a therapy session than an interview because he instinctively knows how to probe the interviewee's mind to extract the story he is looking for. When he decided to take some time and do short documentaries about topics that really intrigued him, I was very excited to be asked to sit for him as he delved into the looming threat and promise of Artificial Intelligence. His new project, "Bagel Shop Docs" which is as non sequitur a name as its logo, which purposefully uses a donut instead of a bagel. But I understand it as a statement that completely liberates him and frees him up to do any length on any topic for his art form, Documentary filmmaking. To be the subject of his first episode, "Robotic Redamancy" Can teaching AI emotion stop a robot apocalypse?" is, for me a tremendous honor. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz1sAIxmlB0CgXLKk0j2TvQ
The World Talent Economy Forum invited me to do a series about US6 over four episodes. This we a great opportunity for a few reasons. Not the least of which that WTE Forum is located in Malaysia and they are extremely interested in Artificial Intelligence and perfectly poised to embrace this new technology without the status quo infrastructure of more developed regions. So introducing US6 and AI as a relationship between Sentient entities makes this series a real gift.
