In this episode Pooja Shah, founder and CEO at Tephra Labs, talks about how decentralized human networks can address large-scale problems.
Governments and corporations have failed to move the needle against many of humanity’s most important challenges and opportunities. Pooja believes that decentralized human networks have the right meta-coordinating structures to do so. These networks can captivate participants from everywhere and grow exponentially, and furthermore, don’t rely on a centralized direction-setting as governments and corporations do.
We dive deep into the primitive form of human coordination all the way to the present on the internet and what the expectations are for the future.
Additionally we converse about why hyper-scale decentralized networks will grow by engaging people as independent workers, rather than employees, about Tephra Labs and it’s first product Radius - a decentralized network that connects independent workers and teams to the best projects in web3 - and how Pooja is thinking about coordinating capital, talent and ideas together in Radius’ protocol.

In this episode, Patrick Mineault, a recognized AI researcher and neuroscientist, takes us through the field of AI and how it is connected to Neuroscience.
He helps us understand the intersection between brain work and AI. He gives us an insight of how neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence interconnect and nourish each other.
Patrick provides his perspective about ‘Brain on Demand’ which is a concept that states the AI modeling the brain to be able to use it for testing on content, health interventions, and it is expected (in the long term) to be good for humanity. The main idea of neuroAI is to test without resorting to human beings and see the impact things have on us.
