Every two weeks, the world loses a language 🤯 On Life with Machines, I talk with Michael Running Wolf, a Northern Cheyenne technologist using AI to help Indigenous communities reclaim their languages—and their power. But here’s the twist: AI doesn’t just help save these languages. AI needs them. It turns out...when you train language models on Indigenous languages—which are dense, precise, and built for oral transmission—the models perform BETTER. That’s not a diversity talking point. It’s a sy

We know machines have cameras... but there are PEOPLE looking at those pics. And we did not consent to that. Milagros Miceli is a researcher and activist telling the stories of millions of data workers around the world doing the dirty work behind so-called “automated” AI systems.

They don’t want to abolish ALL intellectual property laws…just ours. On Life With Machines, @richroll and I break down a disturbing trend: Billionaire tech leaders calling for the end of our intellectual property rights (while still fiercely protecting their own). It’s not about freedom—it’s about control. From DNA to podcasts to social posts, our lives are becoming the next great resource to extract. Join us for a conversation about what it really means when WE become the raw material. Watch on

Automation was supposed to give us more time... ...more rest, more play, more life. But according to Raj De Datta, that’s not where we’re headed. On Life with Machines, Raj—CEO of Bloomreach and longtime observer of how we work and shop—shares why he thinks AI actually won’t make life easy. We get into his vision for the future of e-commerce, the role of sales in an AI-powered world, and why he believes the real shift isn’t about replacing people—it’s about raising our ambitions.

Baratunde Thurston on Instagram: "Ask your nearest CEO what their favorite food is and see what they say. If they are all about Soylent and supplements as a way to fuel their productivity but have no interest in the beautiful sensation of food itself, BE WARY!! There’s this rising trend of “bio-hacking” among the ultra-rich, and it got me wondering why anyone would want to live that long if it means stripping everything good and real and substantial out of life. I for one have no desire to optim

Baratunde Thurston on Instagram: "Before the machine age, Black people were the machines. And then… we woke up. A few weeks ago, I stood onstage at @afrotech.conference in front of thousands of brilliant Black technologists. And I told them something I’ve been feeling for a long time: AI isn’t taking jobs. Humans are firing people and blaming the machines. AI isn’t the story. We are. This moment isn’t just about new tools or new technology. It’s a reset of POWER. And it’s a chance to move from s

Baratunde Thurston on Instagram: "Just calling it out like I see it 🍵 This is personal for me. I’ve lost loved ones because they didn’t get the care they deserved whether it was due to costs, discrimination, or access. And AI IS SUPPOSED to help with all of those things. But only if we demand it. I’m not saying we blindly trust AI companies with our health data. I’m saying these are my list of demands that they’d need to implement in order for me to trust them. It’s not about saying “no” to AI
