**Mizter Rad**: Welcome back, listeners! Today we've got a fascinating discussion lined up with Louis Rosenberg, an expert in AI, AR, VR, and the mind-bending concept of collective superintelligence. Louis, it's great to have you with us.

**Louis Rosenberg**: Thanks, Rad. It’s exciting to be here and dive into these topics that are really shaping our future.

**Mizter Rad**: Let’s start with Thinkscape. You’ve seen groups, using this software, perform at extraordinary levels on tasks like IQ tests. What does this tell us about the potential of collective intelligence?

**Louis Rosenberg**: It’s quite profound, Rad. Thinkscape enables groups to pool their cognitive resources and insights, resulting in decision-making and problem-solving that can exceed the abilities of any single member. Imagine applying this to critical global issues or innovation challenges. The uplift in collective IQ we've observed suggests we could significantly accelerate progress and solutions.

**Mizter Rad**: And shifting gears a bit, you’ve worked extensively with mixed reality. How do you see technologies like Apple’s Vision Pro changing our interaction with digital content?

**Louis Rosenberg**: The Vision Pro and similar technologies mark a pivotal transition from interacting with digital content on flat screens to experiencing it right in our physical world. This seamless integration could fundamentally change everything from everyday tasks to how we connect with each other, making our digital interactions more natural and intuitive.

**Mizter Rad**: There’s a darker side to these technologies, though. You've warned about potential privacy issues and manipulative uses of AI. Can you expand on those concerns?

**Louis Rosenberg**: Absolutely, Rad. While these technologies can enhance our capabilities, they also open up worrying avenues for surveillance and manipulation. Imagine AI systems that know you better than you know yourself and can influence your decisions without you even realizing it. It’s imperative that we establish robust regulations to prevent such scenarios.

**Mizter Rad**: Before we wrap, tell us about your vision for the metaverse and its impact on human connection.

**Louis Rosenberg**: The metaverse has the potential to redefine human interaction. By blending the digital and physical worlds, we can create experiences that are not only immersive but also enriching and connective. However, it’s crucial that we tread carefully to avoid creating a space that isolates us from the tangible world and each other.

**Mizter Rad**: Louis, thanks for sharing your insights today. It’s clear that while the road ahead is filled with incredible possibilities, it also requires careful consideration and responsible handling.

**Louis Rosenberg**: Thanks for having me, Rad. It’s an exciting time, and I look forward to seeing how we navigate this new era, collectively and wisely.

**Mizter Rad**: To our listeners, thanks for tuning in. Don’t forget to think about how these technologies might be shaping not just the future, but your everyday life. Catch you in the next episode!

Welcome to another intriguing episode of the Mizter Rad Show! Today, we're joined by Ana Marija Jaksic, an evolutionary neurobiologist who is pioneering research to enhance the intelligence of flies to unlock the mysteries of the brain. In this fascinating discussion, Ana dives into her cutting-edge methods utilizing evolutionary principles and robotic systems to train flies in complex cognitive tasks.

Ana explains a Y-shaped arena setup where flies make binary choices based on color cues, associating certain colors with discomfort. This method doesn't just test their memory but also challenges their problem-solving skills, leading to the development of flies that can handle increasingly complex scenarios. These experiments are not just about making smarter flies; they hold profound implications for understanding neurological diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and could even pave the way for advances in AI and computing.

Stay tuned as Ana shares insights on the potential of using knowledge about the brain to design more efficient computer chips, the implications of smarter flies escaping into the wild, and the ethical dimensions of using insects in research. It’s a deep dive into the science of cognition, memory, and the possible future of both biological and artificial intelligence. Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation!
