    En Francais: IA et ChatGPT avec Jean-Francois Noubel

    Bienvenue dans le podcast Pass the Mic où nous abordons des idées complexes et des questions difficiles avec des personnes curieuses, capables de remettre en question leurs propres croyances et de manière objective, à l'écoute des idées partagées des autres. Bienvenu dans l'épisode 29 avec Jean-Francois Noubel. Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir de discuter avec Jean-Francois Noubel qui se décrit comme un être humain temporaire. Depuis plus de 20 ans, Jean-Francois travaille dans le domaine de l'intelligence collective, une discipline de recherche moderne qui explore le fonctionnement des systèmes vivants et l'évolution de notre espèce. Il travaille sur les prochaines cryptotechnologies qui permettront bientôt l'émergence d'organisations distribuées très intelligentes. Jean-Francois aide les leaders évolutifs à construire des organisations éclairées vers la société post-monétaire. Il est intéressant de noter que Jean-Francois vit dans une économie de don. Il y a plusieurs années, il a quitté tous ses postes et mandats et a déchiré son curriculum vitae afin de se libérer de toute étiquette et statut social. Cela lui a permis de bénéficier d'une liberté créative totale pour vivre dans le millénaire présent. Sa nouvelle voie lui permet d'accompagner les leaders évolutifs et de former des "humanonautes", ceux pour qui le terme "go hack yourself" désigne une manière d'exister.
