The Upload with Michael Batavia

In this episode, UCLA researcher and Atlas Fellow Sanya Roy joins the podcast to assess the state of AI safety with the advancement of artificial general intelligence and how researchers and the general public can better their understanding of AI safety by developing a good intuition behind blackbox AI models like large language models that continue to evade us to this day. Furthermore, Roy discusses the state of Elon Musk's Twitter from the student perspective and her tips for staying sane in the modern age of Internet chaos. All here, all now in this special episode of The Upload now in video release!

In this episode, Michael Batavia sits down with Jack Chen, cofounder of the environmental startup Stooped and a member of the NYU College Republicans Club. In the interview, they discuss the state of stooping within the NYC tri-state area and its growing importance in environmental engineering to better local environments and turn local trash into treasure. Furthermore, they go on to debate the current duopoly in the App Store and Elon Musk's challenge to Tim Cook over Apple's cut of the money that app developers are forced to give in order for their app to have publicity. Finally, they talk about the nature of the tech ecosystem with Twitter's layoffs and the importance of having hobbies that distinguish CS students from being fully in computer science. All this and more in this episode of The Upload!

In this brand new episode of The Upload, host Michael Batavia continues his conversation with Saketh Kesiraju, founder of Augier, to discuss the ethical ramifications of AI entering the workforce and to expand upon the topics brought in Episode 1 of the combination of GPT-3 and robotics. What happens when AI employees displace workers in the labor force? Is it for the better of society or for the worse? How do AI workers properly adjust to human workflow without succumbing to greed or unorthodox methods? All this PLUS an examination into the importance of following the money in corporations in this special third video episode of The Upload.

In this episode of The Upload, Michael Batavia sits down with Saketh Kesiraju, the founder of Augier, to talk about the direction of art galleries post COVID-19 and the state of the art industry as it combines with technology as a whole. In the interview, they discuss the role of art digitization and virtual galleries in allowing virtual visitors into a gallery during pandemics and the importance of new technologies like Web3 and NFTs in delivering alternate forms of seeing the same pieces of art. Furthermore, they discuss the proper way to handle starting your own business as it applies to finding problems from parts of society and applying technical skills to solve them rather than vice versa as well as the entrepreneurial spirit as a whole. They also discuss the morality of art as it applies to the generation of NFTs and the various ways to view modern art in the current age. All this and more on this week's episode of The Upload.

In this inaugural episode of The Upload, host Michael Batavia introduces listeners to the podcast and its focus on being the hub for technology-based news, entrepreneurship, pop culture and its effect on you on your daily life and discusses his latest blog post on Substack about the recent connection that can be formed between GPT-3 and robots to form a nearly sentient robot. He also discusses the ramifications of the suspension and firing of Blake Lemoine, a former Google engineer who believed Google's GPT-3 models were sentient, and how we are still leagues away from AI being cohabitants with humans on Earth. This is a great start to the podcast series with a straight jump into neural networks and AI and one you definitely don't want to miss out on.
