Ep 8 | AI, Super Reality, & the Cognitive Age —John Nosta

Misha chats with visionary thinker, John Nosta. It’s a fascinating conversation about the future of AI and its impact on humanity. John shares his vision of a 'Super Reality' where AI enables us to see and understand the world in dimensions beyond our human senses. He discusses the future possibilities brought by AI technology, especially Large Language Models (LLMs), and why he believes AI is the 'third window' into humanity, following the telescope and microscope. Nosta, whose career spans the fields of technology, science, medicine, and innovation, urges us to embrace our humanity in this age of rapid technological advancement. This mind-blowing conversation explores the idea that LLMs could usher in a new era of human development, expand our understanding of the world around us, and make us better versions of ourselves. 00:00 Introduction to the Super Reality 00:24 The Craft Podcast Begins 00:44 Introducing John Noster: The Intersection of Technology, Science, Medicine, and Innovation 01:57 The Power of AI: Unleashing the Cognitive Age 03:00 John Noster's Journey: From Medicine to Innovation 04:46 The Convergence of Technology and Humanity 05:21 The Impact of Large Language Models 06:25 A Day in the Life of John Noster 13:23 The Productivity Triad: Speed, Quality, and Engagement 19:44 The Emergence of Super Reality 22:41 The Future of AI: Piercing the Veil of Mythology 25:44 AI: The Third Window into Humanity 27:24 The Transformative Power of Personal Discovery 27:51 The Evolution of Information Access: From Gutenberg to Google 28:21 The Power of Large Language Models in Activating Human Thought 29:12 The Infinite Capacity of the Human Brain 29:47 The Duality of Technological Advancements: Wonder and Fear 31:54 The Misconceptions of AI's Dystopian Reality 32:48 The Necessary Components for Technological Advancements 34:41 The Role of Technology in Solving Societal Problems 35:33 The Impact of Obsolescence on Innovation 36:27 The Importance of Human-Centric AI 37:43 The Influence of Human History on AI Training 42:56 The Power of Embracing Humanity in the Age of AI 47:14 The Influence of Personal Experiences on Career Paths 47:58 The Power of Taking the Shot: Embracing Opportunities 50:16 The Power of Human Genius and Cognitive Capacity 51:14 The Future of AI and Human Interaction 52:55 The Power of Collective Thinking: Super Radiance 53:50 The Importance of Engaging in Conversations and Sharing Ideas   Connect with John Nosta: Website: https://johnnosta.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/JohnNosta ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Misha da Vinci is a futurologist, tech thinker, and writer.
