Every major technological breakthrough brings consequences alongside its benefits. On Emilio Ortiz’s Just Tap In Podcast (@iamemilioortiz), Robert Edward Grant (@robertedwardgrant) and Gregg Braden (@gregg.braden) explore why the challenge is not simply creating more powerful technology, but developing it with greater consciousness and intention from the beginning.
With AI, Robert questions the current race toward ever larger models, greater inference, and increasingly resource intensive infrastructure. He sees a potential future in smaller language models informed by mathematics, capable of handling more computation locally while reducing dependence on conventional inference.
The conversation also moves beyond computing into the wider moment humanity is experiencing, where rapid AI development, geopolitical instability, and profound questions about consciousness are unfolding simultaneously.
Technology can amplify the patterns already present within humanity. The direction we take may ultimately depend as much on compassion, empathy, and conscious intention as it does on computational intelligence.
