Curiosity is currency. It’s been an ever-present force in my life, carrying me to my highest highs and through my lowest lows. I’ve always needed to know how things work, but as I’ve grown older the lens of that wonder has widened. Going in Blind is a vessel for exploring that curiosity together. So join me as I dive into all of it— from speaking with builders, thought leaders and revolutionaries, to discussing stories of hard-earned accolades and harder-learned lessons each week. New episodes drop every Monday, along with the first Thursday of each month.

    #56 Adam Cheyer: Siri Founder shares the past, analyzes the current, & predicts the future

    Adam Cheyer is a visionary software engineer, AI expert, and entrepreneur behind many of the technologies used by most of us today. In addition to sharing his trajectory, Adam he had some very nuanced things to say on machine learning, large language models, and where “AI” is headed—including his prediction of the next iteration of Cheyer’s Conjecture coming in 2035. He and his team developed the world’s first digital assistant, Siri, which was acquired by Apple in 2010, and was the basis for all that came after: Alexa, Cortana, Bixby, and any others you can think of. In fact, another AI company he started (Vib Labs) became a backbone in Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant in more recent years, before his next company, GamePlanner.AI was acquired by Airbnb. But he also created the world’s first social network for social change: Change.org, amongst other companies, like the company formerly known as Genetic Finance. Along his trajectory, he’s worked as a researcher at the Standford Research Institute(SRI) on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) COLA project. He’s headed massive teams at Airbnb, Samsung, and even worked alongside Steve Jobs whilst leading efforts at Apple.

    55 Ben Patton: Patton Veterans Project, filmmaking, & General Patton's lineage

    Ben Patton is the grandson of General George Patton—the famed WWI and WWII General—and son of Major General George Patton IV, a man whose service record is as broad as his own father’s was. But Ben went a different path; he worked across various multimedia industries, co-authored a book, and founded the Patton Veterans Project, where he’s now helping American veterans process their own toughest times through filmmaking. And it’s having incredible outcomes—Ben and his team have conducted studies with the VA and found that veterans with PTSD who’ve completed a workshop with the Patton Veterans Project are much more likely to seek formal mental health treatment at the VA, and Ben shared it’s even saved one veteran’s life. But we dove into much more than just Ben’s nonprofit, we discussed the role of AI/LLMs in the classroom and as a parent, what it was like growing up, Ben’s year at a nunnery, writing, suicide, and everything in between.
