🔮 Too much exponential?; AI scientists; digital simulacra; moving stones and forging people ++ #487

An insider’s guide to AI and exponential technologies

This is a subscriber-only edition of Exponential View.

This year, I’ve spoken at roughly 30 corporate events, investor conferences, leadership offsites, and board meetings, helping people figure out what to do over the next few years. I have limited availability in Q4 for your board meeting or flagship event, so please get in touch ASAP.
