EP193 - The rise of the AI surveillance state
The rapid advancement of AI will create opportunities for early adopters. Even by the time you listen to this podcast, those opportunities have probably already been acquired, since only those with enormous capital reserves can afford the data centers to own the robots. But what will be left will be a perfectly laid out design document of totalitarian control from the George Orwell playbook. In this episode, I’m going to talk about my fears of the AI empowered future and how governments may be the early adopters.

EP192 - Free university degrees for out of the box thinkers
Let’s face it – the world needs more creative and out of the box thinkers. These ‘disruptors’ change the future – look at people like Elon Musk as an example. Despite Elon’s businesses and residence being in the USA, Elon is not from here, yet he has a cult like following in the USA. The reality is that we immigrants see the world as a huge playground rather than limiting ourselves to one country. So why is it that so many parents (and students) limit their education to only one country? In this episode we will explore how any student can get a free bachelors degree that will be respected and propel them forward like Elon Musk, by using the very creative and out of the box thinking that is the very essence of what employers and society is screaming out for in these challenging times.

EP190 - Adjusting to living alongside AI
On March 15th, 2023, the world changed forever. The release of GPT4 expanded the capability of AI to the point where a software bot could pass the bar exam and get a law degree, could get a degree in Biology at university, could understand images & sound as well as text, and even exhibited signs of AGI – Artificial General Intelligence, where it became self-aware. Let’s talk about how this will change all of our lives and what opportunities present.

Amazing show!
I am so glad I came across this show! I’ve taken so many actionable and practical nuggets of advice to implement. Love tuning in!
So much to learn here
I found Myles podcast after hearing him on Gary Collins The Simple Life podcast. His show is a perfect compliment to what Gary talked about because living unconstrained and traveling the world requires an extreme level of self-sufficiency that is useful whether you aspire to globe trotting or not. I highly recommend his episodes regarding debt, investing vs speculating, having at least two passports and travel hacking. Excellent, useful stuff. I also want to thank Myles for his tribute to Gary. Gary’s ideas resonated with me in a deep way and caused me to make some important changes in the way I now live. Probably like many others, I used to email back and forth with Gary and was shocked to learn if his passing. Myles is correct that his message needs to continue and we should try to pass along his wisdom whenever we can.
This Podcast is Truly Life Changing!
I am so very thankful to have stumbled across this unbelievably informative podcast! The information is true, honest, and eye opening. Like I finally woke up from the Matrix!!! For real!
Thank you Myles!! I have never gotten more out of any other podcast (and I have listened to many). You are the real deal, and genuinely care, and that comes across!!
PS. I found this podcast through listening to A Simple Life with Gary Collins… who I also highly recommend!!
