    Crossing the Feedback Chasm - a Conversation with Ken Finnigan

    Michael Stiefel spoke with Ken Finnigan about how the lack of feedback impedes the development of software professionals. Without feedback, the right candidates are not hired, software professionals cannot improve or grow into new roles, or individuals stagnate or regress in their current positions. Feedback must also be delivered at the right time - when it can be effectively used.

    Generally AI - Season 2 - Episode 6: The Godfathers of Programming and AI

    In this podcast episode, Roland and Anthony discuss the Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, who developed pivotal algorithms like backpropagation, contributed to neural visualization with t-SNE, and inspired a resurgence in neural networks with AlexNet's success. Hinton now voices concerns about AI's future, addressing both its potential benefits and its risks. They then turn to John von Neumann, the Godfather of Programming, whose vast impact spanned mathematics, the Manhattan Project, and game theory, but most importantly: the von Neumann computer hardware architecture.

    Generally AI - Season 2 - Episode 5: Do Robots Dream of Electric Pianos?

    In this podcast, Roland and Anthony discuss the use of simulation of both musical instruments and robots. They explore how software and sampling techniques allow musicians to replicate the sounds of real instruments and to design better pianos before manufacturing. They discuss how robot simulations allow testing code safely in virtual environments, avoiding costly or dangerous real-world consequences. The conversation extends to frameworks like Gazebo, Unity, and reinforcement learning platforms, and also how simulations cannot always bridge the gap between training in virtual spaces and real-world execution.

    In this episode of Generally AI, Roland Meertens and Anthony Alford discuss the historical cycles of AI "summers" and "winters": periods of optimism and decline in AI research. The conversation follows the story of neural networks, from Rosenblatt’s perceptron, to the resurgence of AI with backpropagation and deep learning in the 2010s. They also explore the potential for a future "AI Winter", as technological advances face both hype and skepticism. They then discuss the A* search algorithm, which was developed in 1968 and remains a key tool in AI and computer science. The algorithm's lasting relevance and flexibility make it useful across fields like mapping, video games, and even chess engines.
