I Think Tomorrow

In this episode I’m joined by Liz, a comedy writer and content strategist (NY Times, HuffPost). We discuss the limitations of AI with respect to writing and beyond. We cover the Hollywood strikes, whether AI can write a whole script (spoiler: it can't), and the coming skill gap when few junior writers are around to replace the senior ones "managing" AI. Liz shares her own experiments using ChatGPT for creative ideation (including a Rick & Morty spec) and why it produces ideas that may sound ok at first glance, but fall apart when you try to build something truly original and, well... funny. We also get into AI-as-editor, hallucinated feedback, and why the already-upon-us flood of slop may make real craft and voice even more valuable.

Modern life has removed many of the problems our brains evolved to solve. Ironically this doesn't calm us down, in fact quite the opposite. In this conversation, we explore why, when life gets easier, the mind often creates anxiety, dissatisfaction, and self-made problems instead. Drawing on ideas from Dopamine Nation, we talk about boredom, meaning, and why deliberately choosing hard, meaningful challenges can be the antidote to a comfortable but restless life.

This episode went a little off the rails towards the end, but not before we cover a lot of ground. It is messy, honest, sometimes awkward, and exactly why we love doing this podcast. We talk about why we refuse to brand Odysi as an “AI consultancy,” even though they we AI every day. We unpack what a product studio really is, how we think about the line between products and services, and why a “boring” chatbot project raises deep questions about what humans do in conversations that models still cannot. Along the way we get lost in David Deutsch, universal explainers, explosive AI growth, and why AI on its own will not change the world without a lot of human judgment, structure, and unglamorous work.

After a busy summer, I Think Tomorrow is back and we are having an informal conversation about what it's like to build a tech agency from the ground up.From working with AI and new technologies to the challenges of selling your own expertise, this conversation digs deep into the emotional and practical realities of bootstrapping, finding your first clients, and pushing through the early uncertainty.We also speak about how we see businesses adapting (or not) to artificial intelligence, and make some predictions about where things might be heading. 

In this episode we, Thomas and Mike explore how generative AI is reshaping the way we think, create, and understand ourselves. Starting with a quote from Ted Chiang (“ChatGPT is a blurry JPEG of the internet”), we unpack what it means to be an author when machines can generate stories, music, and ideas that surprise even their human collaborators.We discuss the philosophical and practical questions surrounding AI-generated content, the shifting value we place on craft and effort, and the risks of outsourcing too much of our thinking. The conversation touches on authorship, productivity, memory, and the idea that we may already be extending our minds through technology, often in subtle and unintended ways.From Mozart to Moravec’s Paradox, from Google Maps to Neuralink, this episode is a deep dive into how AI is challenging what it means to be human, and what we might become next.Find out more about the work we’re doing:🌐 Odysi Studio — https://odysi.studio🔗 Mike’s LinkedIn — /michaelvtucci🔗 Thomas’s LinkedIn — /thomastrincado”

In this episode, Mike gets interviewed by his good friend and business partner, Thomas Trincado, to explore some of the deepest questions AI is forcing us to ask. What is intelligence? Can machines be conscious? Does intelligence require a survival instinct?We explore how AI development mirrors and deepens our own search for self-understanding, blending philosophy, personal stories, and practical insights. Find out more about us and the work we're doing:🌐 Odysi Studio — https://odysi.studio🔗 Mike’s LinkedIn —   / michaelvtucci  🔗 Thomas’s LinkedIn —   / thomastrincado  

Dating apps have revolutionized how we meet, but in doing so, they often short-circuit the vulnerability required for real connection. After going on 25+ dates in one month, I discovered that while apps are great at generating matches, they rarely help us transition to meaningful, in-person relationships—and may even trap us in fantasy connections that never materialize. These platforms thrive on keeping us swiping, not settling down, optimizing for engagement over emotional growth. Yet, meeting face-to-face (doing the hard thing) was where I found the most value, growth... and even a few sparks. What we need now is a shift in how dating technology is designed: tools that don’t just stoke desire but support courage, presence, and the messy, beautiful work of building something real.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Elinor to talk about navigating conversations about Israel and Palestine in the wake of October 7th 2023. We recount some difficult discussions, why it’s been so easy to feel misunderstood — or to misunderstand others, and how our backgrounds shape the way we see things. We also get into how tech — especially social media and resulting disembodied conversations — amplifies extremes, pigeonholes, and makes it harder to have thoughtful, nuanced dialogue. This is not about taking sides. It’s about how to stay human in the middle of something painful and complex.

In this first episode, I explore a deeply personal topic—the sudden death of my brother Christopher in 2023 at just 27 years old. Joined by my surviving brother James, we reflect on Chris’s life, our grief, and the strange dissonance of losing someone so young. We end by exploring whether AI could—or should—play a role in preserving and even recreating a loved one’s consciousness.
