Hyperscale by Briar Prestidge Briar Prestidge

“We have to stop valuing being busy because that's why people can't come up with new things. They don't have time to think.”

On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Lisa Bodell, an award-winning author and CEO of FutureThink, who is also known as a renowned futurist and panelist. 

Join us as we explore how we can recover our agency, the difference between spending your time and investing it, the value in being uncomfortable, and more.

“Let's think about the future. Let's think about people who aren't here yet. Just because they're not here yet doesn't mean they just shouldn't have a voice or they shouldn't be factored in.”

On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Brendan McGetrick, the Creative Director of Museum of the Future who is also a writer, designer, and curator. His work has appeared in publications in over thirty countries, including The New York Times, Wired, and The Financial Times.

Join us as we explore the importance of taking part in the conversation about humanity’s future, the risks of profit-driven unregulated technological development, whether AI hype is justified, consciously shaping our legacy for future generations, and more.

“But if you look at the diseases and what people are suffering with today, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, the health system hasn't been designed to deal with them,” Dr. Nas Al Jafari, Medical Director of DNA Health Clinic and Functional Medicine Specialist, told me on this episode of HYPERSCALE.

Dr. Nas is a vocal advocate helping bring about a new revolution within the healthcare space, breaking away from outdated traditional practices and pushing for a more holistic approach to health, which puts the spotlight on preventative medicine and care, expanded testing procedures and measures, and the true pillars of longevity.

Join us as we explore the many flaws in today’s sickcare system, how current healthcare is still not equipped to provide preventative medicine, and the role individuals will have to play to bring about change to this broken system to safeguard a better future and allow us to live longer.

“So that's a sick care model… built around treating you when you're sick. And all the institutions and interests around that are propped up actually by chronic diseases. That's the problem. It's the whole incentive structures that are misaligned. And they're perversely against you,”

said Tina Woods, the Founder and CEO of Collider Health, and the Co-Founder and CEO of Longevity International. 

She is a renowned advocate for improving health parity and longevity who brings diverse stakeholders together in shared endeavors to improve and level up health, working at the cross-section of science, technology, investment, and policy/government.

Join us as we explore the many facets of today’s health landscape, from the aforementioned sick care system, to the world’s many blue zones, the youth mental health crisis that has implications on our future, the impact of economic parity on health equity, and more.

“Ask yourself, what type of ancestor do you want to be? Look yourself in the mirror and recognize that I am part of the problem.”

On this episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Adah Parris, Chair of Mental Health First Aid England, and a keynote speaker, polymath, anti-disciplinary artist, tech futurist, and activist. Adah has worn many hats over the years, which has allowed her to form and share hollistic but unique and fresh perspectives on topics like technology, AI, human relationships, and more. 

Join us as we explore humanity’s ever-evolving presence and identity, its presence within the cosmos, the importance of physical human connection, and more in a very introspective (and philosophical) episode of HYPERSCALE.

“We're not going to get a Skynet. I think the James Cameron-sort of future of one all-seeing, all-knowing and essentially the existential threat that the government seems to want to paint a picture of, it's not going to happen.”

On this special EMERGENCY episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Professor Beth Singler and Futurist and Author Theo Priestley, who have joined me to discuss the government-commissioned report recently published in Time magazine, warning that AI poses an extinction-level threat to humanity.

The three authors of the report worked on it for more than a year, speaking with more than 200 government employees, experts, and workers at frontier AI companies—like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and Meta— as part of their research. 

Are these fears justified? We need to educate people about the true potential, and threat, of AI, which can be hard to do given how most of humanity is busy surviving one day at a time, often giving up their privacy and autonomy for the sake of convenience.

Join us for an introspective conversation where we explore the timeliness of this report, what it means, why it shouldn’t necessarily be taken at face value, the actual risks posed by AI, the importance of holding AI developers accountable, and more on this episode of HYPERSCALE.
